With approximately 60 medical colleges, medical education in Punjab, Pakistan represents nearly 40% of Pakistan's total capacity. As of 2023, over 10,000 students are pursuing medical degrees in the province. While this growth reflects expanding access and demand, persistent challenges, such as faculty shortages, infrastructural constraints, and the need to modernise curricula, pose significant hurdles to ensuring high-quality, equitable medical education.
