PHC stops NIMS from functioning
ISLAMABAD: The Peshawar High Court has stopped NIMS [National Institute of Management Sciences] from functioning while endorsing the decision of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council [PM&DC] while saying that all the students of the NIMS shall be adjusted in the private sector Medical Colleges under the supervision of PM&DC within 15 days in-lines with all the legal requirements.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan Medical and Dental Council had refused the recognition of the college in 2008 as it did not comply with inspection criteria of the Council due to major deficiencies in its faculty and infrastructure. However, overruling the criteria and subsequent denial of NOC from PM&DC, the college had admitted/enrolled about 390 students and kept functioning without the approval of the Council.
In a writ petition, submitted by the students of the college, the Honorable Peshawar High Court has also ordered that “students of the final year, who were permitted by this Court to appear in the final year examination, are also to be adjusted in private sector Medical Colleges in final years, after verification of the documents by the PM&DC and they shall have to reappear in Final year from that institution,” it added.
The decision says that a committee shall be constituted consisting members all private institution of the Province along with Council representative and Vice Chancellor of the Khyber Medical University, Peshawar as its Chairman for the adjustment of the students and the college will liable reimburse all the amounts according to the slips/receipts submitted by the students.
In another decision the council has also banned Women Medical College Abbottabad from functioning since it did not maintain the standards of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council.
