Country’s first male-only medical college opens doors
The country’s first male-only medical college is set to open its doors in Jamshoro. A notification issued by the Ministry of Health in Islamabad a few days back, confirms that Bilawal Bhutto Medical College (BBMC) will be allowed 100 seats for MBBS. Permission to establish the college had been granted by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) previous governing body.
The college is being allowed to immediately begin inducting its first batch of students. The college will be affiliated with the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro, while the 500-bed TB hospital being run by the Sindh government has been named as its affiliated teaching hospital.
Professor Tariq Rafi, the VC of Jinnah Sindh Medical University, told that a request for the establishment of BBMC was received by a PMDC committee, which has since been dissolved. The committee had approved the establishment of the college, and two days ago, the ministry of health had released a notification for the establishment of the college. An advertisement was also published last week for admissions in the MBBS programme. He said that 800 candidates have applied for the 100 available seats.
