The Pakistan Medical Association has filed a writ petition in Lahore High Court through its Joint Secretary Dr Salman Kazmi on the “unreasonable” fee of Rs 0.5 million being charged from medical students at Shiekh Zayed Medical College Lahore via Advocate Noshab A Khan.
Shiekh Zayed Medical College Lahore is the only public medical college in Lahore under the federal government, but is charging Rs 0.5 million annual fee which is equal to the fees in private medical colleges. All other government medical colleges in Lahore under the control of provincial government have around Rs 14,000 to Rs 30,000 as the annual free. The PMA has made the Cabinet Division Secretary and others as respondents in the petition and requested the honourable court to declare the astronomical fee as illegal and direct the authorities to decrease the fee in accordance with the dues charged at other government medical colleges. It is worth mentioning that the PMA’s demand to reconsider the fee and make it equal to government sector was pending with the cabinet secretary and cabinet division, who were reluctant to take a decision on the matter.
A meeting of parents of medical students studying at the medical college has been called on Sunday at PMA House as well.
