The government of Sindh announces Changes in Admission Policy For Medical Students.

Sindh government has decided to withdraw a notification allowing Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women in Shaheed Benazirabad to conduct entry tests for medical colleges and universities across the province. A notification issued by the provincial health department said that the People’s University Shaheed Benazirabad would not conduct tests for MBBS and BDS admissions in provincial medical colleges and universities.

There were some raised questions on the credibility of the Peoples Medical College Benazirabad. The MQM-P Parliamentary Leader in Sindh Assembly Kanwar Naveed Jameel has called the decision as biased towards the urban centers of the province of Sindh. He asked all that how could the future of the medical students be given over to such an institution that has such a reputation and asked the government to restore the previous admission policy for the medical colleges.
