    In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Address by DR HUSSEIN A. GEZAIRY REGIONAL DIRECTOR WHO EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION to the SPECIAL CONVOCATION, BAQAI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, AND THIRD CONVOCATION OF BAQAI MEDICAL AND DENTAL COLLEGES FOR THE AWARD OF DEGREES BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI Karachi, Pakistan, 23 February 2001 Your Excellency the President of Pakistan, Your Excellency the Governor of Sindh, Your Excellency the Vice-Chancellor of Baqai Medical University, Dear colleagues, members of the faculty staff, Students and parents, Ladies and gentlemen Assalamu Alaykom wa Rahmatollahy wa Barakatoh It is a great pleasure to be included among this august gathering, headed by His Excellency the President of Pakistan, and to share with you 2 this joyful occasion. I am deeply grateful to have been chosen for the honour of receiving the degree of Doctorate in Sciences from your esteemed university. Since its first batch of students enrolled in 1988, Baqai Medical College, later Baqai Medical University, has been highly regarded by WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean. The innovative community-oriented programme adopted by the college was one of the earliest initiatives towards the reform of medical education in Pakistan. The push for reform in medical colleges all over the world has stemmed from growing awareness of the drawbacks and shortcomings of the existing system of medical education. Curriculum change is necessary when there is a lack of relevant medical response to community needs. Effective and relevant training methods are needed, and must be selected and implemented in accordance with current evidence-based education. Such learning strategies need to address competency in work as well as lifelong learning in order to deal with the fast-moving developments in medical professions.
