In a significant development, a medical college in Islamabad has been sealed for issuing fake degrees. According to the details, the authorities in Islamabad have shut down Vanguard Institute of Medical and Sciences for allegedly issuing fake degrees to paramedical staff.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has confirmed the closure, initiating a case against the college’s management and employees. Ongoing raids aim to apprehend those involved in the fraudulent operation.
The FIA spokesperson disclosed a troubling collaboration between the institute and the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council, resulting in the distribution of counterfeit degrees. Shockingly, numerous nurses, equipped with these fake credentials, were found working in regional hospitals.
The investigation uncovered a fake Memorandum of Understanding linked to PIMS Hospital and exposed a falsified faculty list, raising serious concerns about the institution’s integrity. This revelation sparks worries about compromised healthcare standards and the credibility of medical qualifications, urging a closer examination of educational institutes.
