PMDC warns doctors over expired medical licences

The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has issued an important warning to doctors whose professional licences have expired.

The council has decided to take action against doctors who fail to renew their licences within the required period.

Under the new decision, doctors will be given six months to complete the renewal process. Licences that are not renewed within this period may be cancelled.

The PMDC has also stressed that doctors involved in clinical practice must have a valid and active licence.

Doctors with expired or inactive licences could face restrictions on their professional practice. The council has advised such doctors to complete the renewal process without delay.

The move is aimed at ensuring that only properly registered and authorised doctors continue to provide medical services.

The PMDC maintains the registration and licensing system for medical and dental practitioners in Pakistan. Keeping licences active is an important requirement for doctors who are practising professionally.

The latest warning is expected to push doctors with expired licences to complete their renewals within the specified six-month period.

Doctors have been advised to remain compliant with the council’s licensing requirements to avoid possible cancellation of their licences and disruption to their clinical practice.
