Bannu Medical College (BMC) (Urdu: بنوں طبی کالج, Pashto: د بنو طب پوهنځی) is a public medical institute located in Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is one of several medical colleges affiliated with the Khyber Medical University and enrolls 100 students each year. BMC is recognized by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council and is listed in the World Directory of Medical Colleges.
History
BMC was established in August 2006 by former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani and opened that December.[citation needed] In 2009, a new campus in Bannu Township was approved and formal work started in 2013. Though the 600 kanal[citation needed] campus was intended to be completed by 2016, there were delays due to shortage of funds, with the construction estimated to cost Rs627 million. The temporary location for the college was in Bannu City in the Government High School No. 3 building. Because the Bannu City campus did not have residence halls, students had to find their own accommodation. Construction finished and the permanent campus in Bannu Township was opened in March 2021.
