ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) on Friday took notice of the issues raised during the recent meeting of the National Assembly’s standing committee on National Health Services and Regulations. The PMDC assured students in the medical field of resolving all their concerns.
Following the NA committee’s observations and findings, the PMDC held a special session to discuss the matters raised during the committee meeting. The council fully understands the concerns of students, parents, and all stakeholders, and is actively working toward practical solutions. The Council is committed to ensuring that examination standards remain uniform, transparent, and fair each year.
The digitalisation and standardisation measures are being strengthened so that every student receives equal and merit-based opportunities. To address the issue of vacant seats, the PMDC, together with universities and the Law Division, is preparing a legally sound and transparent plan to prevent seat wastage and ensure the timely placement of eligible candidates.
The PMDC is also maintaining close coordination with IBCC to ensure fairness between Cambridge-system and local board students. The Council feels responsible for ensuring that all foreign-system students receive equitable and transparent grade conversions and academic facilitation.
PMDC considers every student an essential part of the system and remains fully dedicated to safeguarding their academic interests. The Council will continue to extend full cooperation at every forum to ensure maximum relief for students.
Every decision of the PMDC is guided by the principles of merit, transparency, and adherence to national standards. The PMDC ensures its dedication to functioning as a professional, transparent, and student-centred regulator.
The body will continue strengthening Pakistan’s medical and dental education system, ensuring that it remains fair, credible, and aligned with international benchmarks. The PMDC assures all students that they will receive complete support, and their academic future will be protected without compromise.
