GENESIS
The
emergence of two medical colleges i.e. Punjab Medical College
and Rawalpindi Medical College simultaneously at the campus of
University of Agriculture Faisalabad in 1973-74 was a historical
event, by any stretch of imagination, in the annals of medical
education. It sent a wave of happiness in the province. But with
the unrestricted support and co-operation of the University of
Agriculture, Faisalabad, which accommodated both the medical colleges
on its campus squeezing its own departmental facilities at considerable
inconvenience, the growth of the two medical colleges would have
been retarded and not reached the stage of development where they
stand today. RMC was shifted to Rawalpindi on 5th November 1974.
With a grant from the
government, the structure of new buildings was completed in 1982
enabling the college to shift to its new premises spread over
an area of about 158 acres. The construction of buildings and
furnishing of laboratories, teaching hospital etc., continued
at a fair pace and by the end of the year a sum of 460 millions
had been invested on the college. It is heartening that now the
college has all the facilities and infrastructure, which a modern
institution can aspire in a developing country.
The first batch of graduates with M.B.B.S degrees passed out in
1978 and as on today more than 3000 graduate doctors has been
produced to meet the need of the community. They are all making
their mark in the social milieu.
Complements are over-due
to the first 4 principals, Dr. M.H.Toosi, Dr. Fateh Muhammad Ch.,
M Anees Mahju, and Muhammad Zafar Ch. who worked day and out
during the early formative years and overcame myriads of problems
inherent in the establishment of a new medical college. Their hard
work facilitated the work of their successors.
