ISLAMABAD: In a move aimed at addressing financial concerns in medical education, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has banned private medical and dental colleges from collecting fees. The action follows a directive from the Senate’s Health Sub-Committee, which recommended a suspension of fee collection to curb financial irregularities.
