ABSENTEEISM IN MEDICAL COLLEGES IN PAKISTAN – ACT URGENTLY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
Abstract
The medical field requires a strong commitment to patient care, intense training, and unshakeable dedication. These crucial traits are shaped in large part by medical colleges, the furnaces where future physicians are formed. Discipline, diligence, and regular attendance have historically been the hallmarks of these schools. But in recent years, there has been an alarming rise in Paki
stani medical students’ absenteeism. This phenomenon, which appears to be a novel and developing problem, calls into question the nation’s healthcare system’s future and calls for a careful analysis of its root causes, possible outcomes, and potential remedies. This editorial addresses the varied nature of absenteeism in Pakistani medical colleges.
