The Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) has increased the validity of the registration of doctors. Registration of doctors will now be valid for five years instead of the previous two years. Doctors who are aged 60 years or above will be able to renew their registration by paying only 50% of the total fee.
The Pakistan Medical Council (PMC) has set the pass percentage for paper-based MDCAT for admissions to MBBS programs at 55% and 45% for BDS programs. The deadline for the registration for MDCat has also been increased by 10 days.
Pakistan’s Senate has rejected attempts by some senators to amend the bill titled “Pakistan Medical and Dental Council Bill 2022”. The Standing Committee on Health stated that a bill once cleared by the committee cannot be amended, and amendments can only be made in the Parliament.
