History and background
Nishter is of the most prestigious medical institutions in the South Punjab Region. It is also one of the oldest medical colleges in the country. The vast alumni network all over the world as well as the services the Nishter graduates are providing in the country say a lot about this university. But what is the history of this prestigious institute? Let’s talk about that in this section of the blog.
Before the partition, there was only KEMU in the region of Pakistan. Naturally, the number of Muslim students was low here. After 1947, all of the Hindu doctors migrated to India.
This left Pakistan with only one Medical college. So, in a meeting on the 31st of October 1950, the governor of Punjab Sardar Abdul Rab Nishter presider a meeting. In that meeting, it was decided that they would establish another medical college in Pakistan. Hence, a budget of 1.815 million rupees was allocated for this project. To honor him, the name of the institute has since been Nishter Medical College. So, Nishter is technically the first Medical college in The Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
The first batch of 52 graduated in 1956. Initially, the college was affiliated with the University of Punjab, Lahore. Then since 1971, it was affiliated with BZU until 2017. In 2017, it was upgraded to a University after some legislative process in the Punjab Assembly. Since then, Nishter Medical College has become Nishter Medical University.

Nursing
Nursing is a noble profession, just like MBBS or BDS. Without nurses, our healthcare system will collapse. Hence, the education of nurses is very important. For this purpose, Nishter Medical University offers programs related to nursing. You can go for BS nursing and then later, you can go for Post BSN or even MS Nursing. These are the options for you if you want to become a full-fledged nurse from NMU.

Allied Health Science
Allied health sciences are also an integral part of our healthcare ecosystem. Whether it is the Pharmacists Nutritionists or Dietitians. Or even paramedical staff, you cannot run a hospital without them.
So it is also important to invest in their education. Before, the sole focus of medical colleges used to be MBBS or BDS. They hardly focused on allied health sciences. But now the times are changing. The world has shifted towards better healthcare systems. And in those healthcare systems, professionals from Allied health sciences play a major role.
