A long-standing controversy has finally come to an end after the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) recognised the four pubic medical colleges established by the Punjab government, Pakistan Today learnt on Friday.
The Punjab government had set up four new medical colleges which had admitted students but the PMDC had not recognised them over certain issues. This created a controversy between the PMDC, a federal institution and the Punjab government, causing a lot of resentment among the students. The Lahore High Court (LHC) has also been hearing a case on the same issue.
The disgruntled students had protested several times as their exams had begun already, while the PMDC was unwilling to give recognition to the institutions. Recently, the University of Health Sciences (UHS) gave a provisional permission to the students to appear in the exams which would be considered once the institutions have been recognised.
Very good news, thanks God.
