King Edward University graduates awarded degrees
LAHORE: At least 472 graduates of the King Edward Medical University (KEMU) were awarded degrees at the university’s 150th convocation here on Saturday.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani awarded medals to outstanding graduates and announced foreign scholarships for three graduates who won the highest number of gold medals.

Gilani congratulated the graduates and the faculty for their success. He said consultation in Health Policy 2010 was in the final stage. He said thanks to the 18th Amendment, which made health a provincial subject and now provinces should ensure provision of health facilities at the grass root level.

Earlier, KEMU Vice-Chancellor Prof Zafarullah Khan presented the welcome address. He said KEMU produced 148 research papers and 16 of these were published in international journals.

He said the university spent Rs2.5 million on research during the last two years. He sought patronage from the federal and provincial governments.Daily times
