Pakistan's federal authorities established a 1.8 million rupee yearly tuition limit for private medical and dental schools. Health Minister Syed Mustafa Kamal revealed this policy during Friday's Senate proceedings. The government acted after receiving multiple student complaints about excessive educational costs.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif created a regulatory committee under Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar's leadership. This group addresses fee-related issues across private healthcare education institutions. Schools that previously charged higher amounts must return extra payments to students.
Institutions with superior facilities may request permission to charge up to 2.5 million rupees annually. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council maintains exclusive oversight authority for all tuition approvals. Legal penalties await colleges that violate these new financial regulations.
The committee has already resolved five formal complaints from affected families. Students and legislators can report violations directly to the health ministry or regulatory council for investigation.
