Future of 91 MBBS students hangs in balance: Associate Prof blamed
NAWABSHAH, Nov 25: Atleast 91 students of final year at People’s Medical College Nawabshah are on the horns of a dilemma, as they have failed in MBBS final examinations due to the negligence and irregularity of a senior professor of gynae.
These students could not get through gynae subject allegedly due to the absence of a lady professor Dr Khair-un-Nisa Memon.
Students of PMC, who requested anonymity, told this correspondent that they have been victimized as the professor remained absent from the college throughout the year, never attended classes or practicals, and even after making several complaints to principal and once to secretary health no action was taken against her.
Out of 91 students 45 have failed in practicals although there previous record remained brilliant, as they have never failed throughout their academic career.
Dr Khair-un-Nisa is in charge of gynae ward at People’s Medical College Hospital and also performed as internal in charge in the examinations.
In this connection this correspondent was successful in getting a copy of page for the month of November’s attendance at People’s Medical College, in which Dr Khair-un-Nisa has remained absent from November 1 till November 23rd without any lapse.
On visiting the gynae ward at PMCH, it was reported that the ‘madam’ used to come once in a fortnight and rarely attend any operation at OTs and OPD.
The patients also disclosed that Dr Khair-un-Nisa runs a private clinic at Hyderabad and also attends some private hospitals.
An official of PMCH confirmed that during the recent visit, secretary health warned Dr Khair-un-Nisa to remain present in college as well as hospital, as students needed her ‘kind’ attention.
When contacted the Medical Superintendent PMCH, Dr Ali Nawaz Khoso, said that professor visits the hospital rarely.
Answering a question he said that principal PMC is the boss of the concerned associate professor and avoidd to comment further.
Dr Khursheed Dinal Shah and Dr Razia Bahadur Khero, who were also internals of gynae practicals said that, they were asked to sign blank result sheets and were not even shown final results.
The students said that they would have to suffer carrying a supplementary marks sheet and certificate and their entire career hangs in the balance.
The parents of the girl students have demanded of the health department either to revise the results or conduct the exams again as their children have been victimized unnecessarily.
