Three private medical colleges to reopen

The government has withdrawn its previous instruction on closing three private medical colleges after taking into consideration the academic future of the students currently enrolled in the colleges. Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammed Nasim decided to reopen the three colleges for the sake of the students, stated a press release issued by the ministry on Thursday. However, the instruction to postpone the admission process of these colleges for the 2016-17 session remains in effect. On June 13, Rangpur Northern Medical College, Gazipur City Medical College and Ashulia Nightingale Medical College were instructed to shut down their operations because they did not comply with the college management rules.
