The young doctors have demanded the Punjab government should establish a provincial medical council under the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) to regulate private medical colleges in Punjab. The doctors said in neighbouring countries there were state medical councils established under the national medical council to regulate medical education at the provincial level so that exploitation of poor students by private medical colleges could be stopped. Young Doctors’ Association Pakistan office bearers Dr Rana Sohail, Dr Salman Kazmi, Dr Talha Sherwani, Dr Ghulam Qasim, Dr Khuda Bakhsh, Dr Murtiza Baloch, Dr Talha Saad, Dr Khalid Idrees and Dr Mohammad Khawar Khan demanded that a competent senior doctor be appointed in place of the suspended Health Department additional secretary so that proper action could be taken against private medical colleges.
