Pakistan fails its doctors: KP produces thousands of graduates, jobs remain scarce
Sep 28, 2025
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's medical and dental colleges are churning out graduates at a rate far exceeding available government positions, leaving young doctors frustrated and financially burdened. The province hosts 20 medical and 11 dental colleges across public and private sectors, producing nearly 2,900 graduates annually, according to Khyber Medical University (KMU), which oversees admissions for these institutions, as reported by Dawn.
