PESHAWAR: Pakistan Medical Commission has agreed to double seats in medical and dental colleges for students of erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas subject to inspection of the colleges where the students would be accommodated.
On Tuesday, PMC held meeting with secretaries of health departments of all the provinces to discuss the issue of increasing seats for former Fata students in medical and dental colleges of the country.
Sources said that PMC was reluctant to double the seats in the current year as it had categorically informed before increasing seats last year that it would be one-time increase and the colleges would be required to update infrastructure to be able to enroll more students in future.
