In a significant development for Pakistan's medical education sector, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and the Pakistan Association of Private Medical and Dental Institutions (PAMI) have agreed to impose a maximum profit cap of 20% on private medical and dental colleges. According to ProPakistani, this agreement is part of a broader effort to regulate tuition fees for MBBS and BDS programs, with annual tuition fees capped at Rs. 1.8 million. For the 2025–26 academic session, colleges are allowed to increase tuition by up to 5%, and future adjustments will be linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This decision, finalized after deliberations led by the Deputy Prime Minister, aims to ensure affordability and transparency in medical education. Additionally, PMDC has mandated that all recognized colleges display official notifications and directives prominently, as reported by sgspl.pk, to enhance communication and transparency among stakeholders.
