KARACHI, Aug 10: The Sindh chapter of the Pakistan Medical Association has criticised all vice chancellors of medical universities in the public and private sector for giving their consent to establishment of night medical colleges.

A PMA statement said that it came to know from reliable sources that in response to a letter from the Prime Minister Secretariat regarding night medical education “all vice chancellors and principals of medical colleges in Sindh have agreed to open night medical college on a self-finance basis. They have suggested that by this method the government and medical universities will be able to make money which can be utilized for the development of medical colleges”.—PPI
