The Vanguard Institute of Medical and Sciences in Islamabad was closed because of accusations that its paramedical workers had fake degrees.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), which has filed lawsuits against the college’s management and staff, confirmed the college’s closure.
Raids have escalated as part of a recent campaign to capture the people behind this fraudulent organisation.
According to the FIA spokeswoman, the inquiry revealed a concerning pattern of cooperation between the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council and the college management that resulted in the awarding of phoney degrees.
It was shocking to see that a large number of nurses with these phoney college degrees were found to be employed in hospitals around the region.
Unsettling information is also revealed in the study, such as the discovery of a forged Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) purportedly connected to PIMS Hospital.
Furthermore, it has come to light that the faculty list supplied by the college management was falsified, raising questions about the academic institution’s credibility.
