What was announced
According to The Nation, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has officially enhanced the allocation of MBBS seats at Sheikh Zayed Medical College (SZMC) in Rahim Yar Khan. The report’s headline says the allocation has been increased from 150 to 200 seats [1]. The report was published on 17 October 2026 [1].
The available copy of the report is cut short after its opening sentence. It does not give further detail on the decision, its timing or how the additional seats will be handled.
The SZMC website describes the college’s wider framework. It says the college adopts and follows policies, rules and regulations for postgraduate courses such as FCPS, MD, MS and diplomas in different subjects, as prescribed by SHC&ME, CPSP and UHS, under the regulatory framework of PMDC in Islamabad [2]. That page does not mention the MBBS seat change.
The college’s stated vision is to be a globally recognized centre of excellence in medical education, research and healthcare delivery, with Islamic ethical values [2]. The PMDC action at SZMC is reported in The Nation; the college website sources do not confirm the seat change themselves.
