King Edward Medical University doctors have sent letters to several people, including former UK prime minister Gordon Brown who is now the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, regarding the appointment of a new vice chancellor.
This was stated by office bearers of the Young Kemcolian Forum , Young Doctors KEMU and alumni of the King Edward Medical College at a press conference on Thursday.
The letters demand the appointment of the most senior professor in the Health Department as the King Edward Medical University vice chancellor, and for the restoration of a King Edward Medical College as a constituent college of the university.
The letters have also been sent to members of the UK House of Lords, Amnesty International, the chief minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Mariam Nawaz . In the next 10 days the doctors plan to call on Shahbaz Sharif, Nawaz Sharif and other politicians to highlight the “administrative irregularities by the present acting vice chancellor of the university”.
They said the acting VC had “destroyed the institution”. Supreme Court orders regarding the appointment of a VC had not been followed, they said. They appealed to the chief minister “to save the King Edward Medical University and appoint a VC on merit”.
