In the aftermath of the tragic deaths of six newborns, the Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME) has issued an emergency directive to Ad-din Women’s Medical College, requiring the immediate relocation of its students and interns to alternative medical facilities. This decision follows the official cancellation of Ad-din Women’s Medical College Hospital’s license due to severe negligence and administrative failure. While the academic college remains operational, the loss of its clinical wing has created a legal impasse for students’ mandatory bedside training.
Professor Dr. Rubina Yasmin, Additional Director General (Medical Education) of DGME, confirmed on Sunday that a formal notification is being dispatched to the institution. Under the Private Medical College and Dental College Act 2022, a medical college is prohibited from operating without a functional clinical hospital. Consequently, Ad-din must now execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with an established general hospital to facilitate clinical rotations for third-year students and ensure the completion of a mandatory one-year internship for MBBS graduates.
The DGME highlighted that medical curricula necessitate practical training in hospital wards starting from the third academic year. To satisfy these regulatory requirements, Ad-din is responsible for managing the logistics, including the safe transit of students to and from the affiliated training hospital. The directive ensures that the academic career of hundreds of medical students is not jeopardized by the institutional penalty imposed on the hospital following the neonatal crisis.
The neonatal tragedy in May triggered nationwide scrutiny of private healthcare standards, leading to the severe administrative sanction. Ad-din authorities are now under immense pressure to finalize a partnership with an external healthcare facility by Monday to prevent an educational breakdown for its currently enrolled medical interns and clinical students.
