Palestinian Medical Students to complete education in Pakistan: Ishaq Dar

Leader of the House in Senate and Foreign Minister, Senator Ishaq Dar on Friday informed the Upper House that Palestinian medical students will complete their medical education in Pakistan.

He informed the House that some UK based groups had approached him as Foreign Minister that Pakistan should facilitate the Palestinian medical students of final year in completing their degrees because the infrastructure in Gaza has completely destroyed.

He said upon receiving requests, he wrote to Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) to find a way out that Pakistan can help those students.

He said the PMDC in response to his request, had agreed to accommodate all those medical students from Palestine in the medical collages under PMDC’s administrative control for completion of their education.

“Palestinian students will come to Pakistan in 20 to 30 batches for completion of their medical education which is very humble contribution of Pakistan” said Ishaq Dar.
