Private medical colleges ripping students off millions
Karachi: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has alleged that public medical colleges in
Sindh unnecessarily delayed their admissions in MBBS and BDS programmes so that
private medical colleges could be benefited. "All that is happening
right under the nose of PMDC, where private medical colleges are earning
millions and millions of rupees in the name of admission forms, pre-admission
tests, exorbitant admission and tuition fees and donations" The PMA's
office-bearers Dr Sher Shah Syed and Dr Habib-ur-Rahman Soomro said at a press
conference at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Tuesday. They once again
demanded of the government to make Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) an
independent and highly-powered institution to improve the level of medical and
dental education in the country and check the irregularities committed by the
medical educational institutes. PMA leaders Dr Sher Shah Syed and Dr
Habib-ur-Rahman Soomro alleged that currently the PMDC was playing into the
hands of owners of some private medical colleges, who are using the PMDC for
increasing their profits by offering sub-standard medical education.
"Some businessmen, who have entered into the profession of medical
education, want to earn more profits and are using the platform of the PMDC for
acquiring the permission to start evening medical colleges in the country" they
charged. They said PMA had time and again opposed the "unique idea" of
evening medical colleges, as it would further deteriorate the medical education
in the country and would produce doctors who have little knowledge as to how and
what kind of treatment should be given to patients in life-threatening
situations. The PMA office-bearers maintained that nowhere in the world
was any college was functioning that imparted medical education in two shifts
especially when most of the private medical colleges didn't even have the
complete faculty to impart medical education in the day to students.
They further charged that private medical colleges not only lack
qualified faculty and other necessary facilities to impart medical education but
they also make false claims about their full-time faculty and facilities.
"It is also the responsibility of the parents also to ascertain that the
medical colleges, where they are going to get their children admitted for
education, really have the full-time faculty and other facilities that were
mentioned in the prospectus or not" the advised the parents. They
strongly criticized the present administration of the PMDC and charging that it
was fulfilling the agenda of some businessmen in the garb of educationists,
urged the government to take stock of the irregularities in the medical
educational sector. The news
