Federal Minister for National Health Services Aamer Mehmood Kiani said that the present government under the visionary leadership of our Prime Minister Imran Khan is determined to improve the health status in this country. Recognizing the importance of medical profession, we not only aim to improve the quality of medical education and training but also promote culture of health research in medical students. While he was addressing degree awarding to graduates of Federal Medical Dental College Islamabad. Minister said, University Graduation is one of the biggest achievements towards your carriers. It is the culmination of one sweet chapter in your life and the beginning of another great chapter where you can write a new story. The importance of graduation is not only recognizing an important accomplishment, but it is viewed as the gateway to next stage in your lives. I believe that medical graduates are unique in the sense that regardless of your chosen area of practice, all of you have the opportunity to enrich the lives of those around you. As you embark upon and progress through your careers, I urge you to always remember why you chose your respective field and the sacrifices that you endured in order to make it happen: to serve our communities and improve the quality of life and health of its members with compassion, honesty and integrity. Minister appreciated the parents and teachers of our graduates for their patience, understanding, sacrifices and support during these challenging, but rewarding, years at the college. Although your guidance, comfort and encouragement certainly will continue to be sought and appreciated in the years to come, you can rejoice in the gradual return to "normalcy" with no more long nights of studying, get-togethers unattended and trips untaken. Hearing the problems your college has been through and is currently facing, I'm amazed at the resilience of the faculty and students for withstanding all these issues. What is more amazing is despite of all these issues the college faculty has been focusing on good quality education to students within the limited means. As a result 53 graduates from Federal Medical and Dental College have already passed FCPS part 1exam and University MS/MD part 1 exam, in only 6 months of completion of house job.I assure you that all the problems will be sorted out on urgent basis. The remarkable change and improvement in curricula and teaching methodology is worth appreciation. Minister said we are determined to enhance the importance of research and development throughout doctors’ working lives with special emphasis on the medical academics. This can deliver important medical innovations that improve patient care and deliver in the longer term. Our patients deserve the best-trained doctors and nurses in the world – and this is what our government believes. We will support our doctors to deliver compassionate care through providing them with the training, support and skills they need to take this agenda forward. Health minister said now it is time to implement vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan that he has struggle for last 22 Years. We must make all out effort to resolve the problem that had been highlighted. We will bring major improvement in Federal Medical and Dental Collage within one Year and will take up the matter of FM&DC building with prime minister.
