PMDC Bans Admissions of 17 Medical Colleges for Year 2015
|LAHORE: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has stopped 17 public and private sector medical colleges from admitting students for the 2015-16 session for being critically deficient in faculty and other facilities.
Besides, the PMDC has recommended to the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination to order closure of four of the colleges for constantly violating rules and regulations.
The PMDC decision has sent a shockwave among students and the administration of colleges as the admission process is to start in coming weeks.
The closure of four institutions will put the future of hundreds of students at stake.
Eight of the 17 colleges are in Punjab, four each in public and private sectors.
Test for admission to government-run medical and dental colleges in Punjab has been scheduled on Aug 30.
The PMDC has advised parents and students to confirm the status of medical colleges before seeking admission to them.
In a letter sent to the ministry on June 25, the PMDC has listed the colleges which have been stopped from holding the admission process.
They are:
- Sahiwal Medical College,
- Dera Ghazi Khan Medical College,

The council has said that the Dera Ghazi Khan Medical College and the Department of Dentistry, Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan, were functioning without recognition, a violation of rules and regulations.
In separate letters to the provincial health departments and the vice-chancellors and principals concerned, the PMDC has urged them to ensure implementation of its decision.
