PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s decision of handing over control of Nowshera Medical College (NMC) and its teaching hospital, Qazi Hussain Ahmad Teaching Hospital, to the Board of Governors of Mardan Medical Complex (MMC) has triggered questions.
Some of the faculty members in Nowshera termed it against the Medical Teaching Institutions Reforms Law 2015. However, officials of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government said it was an interim arrangement, adding, the health department was working on selecting a separate Board of Governors (BoG) for NMC.
The government had recently dissolved the BoG of Nowshera Medical College, where all the board had members resigned three years ago and only a single member, Gulrez Hakim Khan, a contractor by profession, ran the two institutions as chairman of the BoG.
