Govt committed to make PMDC world class institution:Saira Afzal

Minister for National Health Services Saira Afzal Tarar Friday said the incumbent government was committed to make Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) a world class institution and
efforts were being made for the purpose.
She said the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) had been taking sincere measures to
bring improvements in law regarding PMDC which was an important institution of the country.
Talking to a news channel, she said the law introduced by the government was more defined and conflict of interest was abolished from it .
She said it was very unfortunate that every issue of national importance was politicized due to vested interests.
The minister said the government wanted that private medical colleges should follow merit based admission policy in the colleges and provision of quality education and infrastructure.
Saira Afzal Tarar said in the past regime, licenses were granted for establishing new colleges without following proper rules and regulations.
She said the committee formed by the Supreme Court was consisted of Vice Chancellors of the public universities and it was hoped they would ensure transparency in running the matters.
Public sector universities were providing best education on lower expenses that was why most of the students preferred to get admission in the public sector universities.
