NAB Asks Pakistan Medical Commission For Details Of MDCAT Contract
The National Accountability Office (NAB) has asked the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) to provide all the details and documents of the contract for the Dental and Medical College (MDCAT) admission test.
The NAB reportedly investigated a complaint of alleged corruption in the award of the MDCAT 2021 contract under the provisions of the National Accountability Ordinance 1999.
In a letter to the President of PMC, Dr. Arshad Taqi states:
Please appoint a contact person who is familiar with the registry and can provide information/register.
PMC was responsible for handling all details of the contract including the offer, tender documents, shortlisted companies, evaluation of tenders, qualified company, proof of experience, details payments made, advances made to the respective company, contractual documents, and all other relevant data.

The letter also mentioned that “the required information or registration can be sent as soon as possible through the designated contact person to Ms. Samina Rahman, Deputy Director of the Complaints Review Unit, NAB Rawalpindi”.
PMC has been criticized for awarding the MDCAT contract to a company registered with the Pakistan Securities and Exchange Commission after the deadline for filing contract applications.
