Committee on Medical Education discusses fee regulation and rationalisation in private medical colleges


Islamabad: The Committee on Medical Education has recommended a tuition fee cap of Rs1.8 million in private medical colleges.
The committee, which met in Islamabad today with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar in the chair, reached the consensus that the fee cap will be adjusted annually for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index. For private medical institutions currently charging less than this amount, fees will be capped at their existing level, with only an annual CPI-linked increase.
The committee discussed fee regulation and rationalisation in private medical colleges, aiming to ensure fairness for students and viability for institutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Ishaq Dar emphasized the government's resolve to strengthen medical education through transparent policies, better training standards, and equitable opportunities for students and institutions alike, highlighting its key role in improving Pakistan's healthcare sector
