As public sector education in professional colleges of Pakistan is highly subsidized, we cannot expect the government exchequer to stretch further to create more medical colleges, which can cater for the over-growing need for doctors. It is therefore imperative that the private sector also participates in this task and provides more opportunities for training doctors. The government has a policy to encourage establishment of medical institution in the private sector so that the burden is shared. It is in this context that some leading members of the medical profession decide to establish a well equipped and par excellence medical college at Abbottabad, which is affordable to all income groups. Ample land for the construction of a modern building to house the medical college, dental college and building for allied facilities and separate hostels for both the genders has been acquired and the construction is in progress under the supervision of experienced engineers and architects.
