The success of every dynamic organization lies with its vision, teamwork and preservance.

They all deserve great appreciation for their performance over the past thirteen years. WMC and its attached teaching hospital, successfully comprise a single unit representing a symbol of academic excellence which has resulted in improvement and provision of quality health care to the clientele. As one of the top subsidiaries of the POF Board/Welfare Trust, it is significantly contributing in training of medical undergraduates as well as post graduates and is actively involved in innovative learning, research and information sharing with national and international academic institutions. I am aware of the impediments that the faculty and the administration of WMC have surmounted to achieve the present status of academic excellence as we see a lot of effort still being made within the campus and around. Nevertheless, WMC has taken on various benevolent activities resulting in improving the health care of the people in Wah Cantt and adjoining areas. I am sure, if efforts of the faculty and the students persist in future as well, the students of WMC will keep bringing laurels to their college, at national and international levels. I take this opportunity to welcome the 15th Batch of medical students who will be admitted to Wah Medical College . I assure you of my continuous support for achievement of your goals.
