The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) is under fire following allegations that its president, Dr. Rizwan Taj, registered his own honorary degree in apparent violation of the council’s regulations.
The controversy has sparked outrage among medical professionals, who view it as a serious breach of ethics and an abuse of power.
According to Express Tribune, the PMDC has maintained a strict policy of not recognizing honorary degrees or qualifications obtained through online and distance learning programs.
However, the latest allegations suggest that these rules may have been ignored in this case, raising concerns over the regulatory body’s credibility.
Medical experts and senior professionals have condemned the move, calling it a violation of PMDC’s own policies.
