KARACHI: The government of Sindh on Tuesday decided to establish the Sindh Medical & Dental Council (SMDC). A draft of the proposed law to constitute the Sindh Medical & Dental Council has been hammered out and the government will seek opinions from the provincial law department over the piece of the legislation, sources said. The minister said that Sindh had expressed serious reservations over the constitution of Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC). The parliament in September passed legislation to replace Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) with the PMC as the regulatory body for the medical sector. President Dr Arif Alvi later signed the Pakistan Medical Commission Bill, 2020, into a law.
