BANNU: (Salman Ali Khan): Bannu Medical College has been plunged into an administrative crisis following the resignation of its Dean, Dr Nadeem, amid reports of deep-seated faculty grouping and systemic mismanagement.
The resignation, which sources indicate has already been accepted, reportedly stems from irreconcilable differences between the Dean and the former Chairman of the Medical Teaching Institution (MTI) Board.
The institution and its affiliated MTI hospitals are currently grappling with severe operational challenges, including ongoing doctor strikes that have crippled healthcare delivery. Public outcry has reached a fever pitch, with social media platforms frequently flooded with viral footage documenting administrative failures and the deteriorating quality of patient care.
Adding to the controversy, local public circles have voiced sharp criticism regarding a recent sports gala hosted by the college. The event, described as featuring “mixed programs,” has drawn scrutiny from those who believe the administration’s focus has shifted away from its core academic and medical mandates during a time of institutional instability. With the Dean’s departure, concerns are mounting over the future of the college’s economic and professional standing as it struggles to resolve its internal divisions.
