University of Health Sciences Lahore mulls retests for students who failed MBBS, BDS
By
Final decision to be taken during Dec 24 meeting
LAHORE: The University of Health Sciences in Lahore will deliberate over the possibility of retest for students who failed MBBS and BDS.
The development came after the students staged a protest outside the university on Monday. They lamented being unable to prepare for the tests due to prevailing novel coronavirus situation in the country.
The demonstration ended following negotiations between students and university administration. Police office were also present at the protest venue.
UHS vice-chancellor Dr Javed Akram said the matter will be brought before the board members in the December 24 meeting.
The Lebanon Soup Kitchen celebrated 30 years of community service in 2019. During those commemorations, leaders estimated that the organization had served more than 650,000 meals.
That experience was desperately needed in 2020. Following a year of celebration, this has been a year of challenges. It began in March when social distancing rules first went into effect and the soup kitchen switched from serving meals in its space at the Lebanon First Christian Church to providing takeout service.
Just as the organization was making this switch, tragedy struck. Randy Peterson, the soup kitchenâs manager died unexpectedly on May 12. He was 51.
Volunteers at the non-profit mourned his loss while trying to maintain the service schedule.
