Bacha Khan medical college Charsadda

KP govt has planned to set up a medical college in Charsadda  to cope with the increasing number of students in the province, according to officials.

They told that the new medical college, to be named after great freedom fighter Bacha Khan, would cost 230 million rupees.

Charsadda had already a district headquarters hospital but health department would need to build a new 150-bed hospital before applying for registration of the college with Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), it was added.

Last year 2010, the eight medical colleges had enrolled 152 extra students against the sanctioned seats of 600 because  number of students are constantly rising.
