Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC)

The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing medical and dental education in Pakistan. It ensures that medical and dental schools meet quality standards, and it regulates the registration and licensing of healthcare professionals, such as doctors and dentists. The PMDC aims to protect public health by ensuring that practitioners are qualified and adhere to ethical standards. In 2020, it was reconstituted as the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC), which continues to fulfill these essential roles while improving medical education and healthcare services in the country.
