Quaid-e-Azam Medical College

The medical college was founded on 2 December 1971 when its foundation stone was laid by the then Governor of Punjab, Lt Gen Attique-ur-Rehman (retd).^[2] The college is affiliated for clinical training to Bahawal Victoria Hospital as well as Civil Hospital Bahawalpur. The founding Principal was Prof Dr Nawab Muhammad Khan.^[3] Prof. Dr. Sofia Farrukh is the current principal of the college.

Designed by Abdur Rahman Hye, it was the first endogenously designed medical campus by a Pakistani architect and has the characteristics typical in A. R. Hye's style of architecture.

The design of the building incorporates natural climate control features, such as cross-ventilation, strategic placement of windows, and overhangs and courtyards to create shade. Additionally, the roof vaults, besides providing insulation, also allow the flow of air through the vault roof, bringing down ceiling temperatures. Hollow walls also provide insulation. This provides a natural protection against the hot and dry climate of Bahawalpur.

• Pakistan Medical and Dental Council^[1][4]
