ISLAMABAD: In a significant development Pakistani students will now be required to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) if they wish to undertake medical and dental studies in foreign countries, The News reported on Tuesday.

Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (NHSR&C) have told the publication that the PMDC is further considering "additional checks" aimed at ensuring that Pakistani pupils receive education only at recognised educational institutions.

The PMDC's decision on the said issue will be effective from the 2024 session meaning that no Pakistani student will be allowed to go abroad for medical education from now onwards, said an NHSR&C official.

The development comes as a large number of students have been enrolling in institutions that are not recognised by the host countries themselves.

The official further revealed that as many as 3,000 students from Pakistan, 30% of whom are women, go abroad for medical education each year with most of them travelling to China, followed by Central Asian countries such as Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan and Afghanistan
