List of medical schools in Azad Kashmir

Medical education in Azad Kashmir (AJK) has grown over the past ten years.[citation needed] Several institutions have been set up to train skilled doctors and healthcare professionals. The following section provides a list of medical colleges in Azad Kashmir, which together form the core of medical education.

At present, there are four main medical colleges in AJK, offering more than 600 MBBS seats every year.[citation needed] These institutions attract students not only from AJK but also from other parts of Pakistan. All these colleges are recognised by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and are affiliated with the University of Health Sciences, Lahore (UHS), Lahore.[citation needed]

In 2025, the AJK government introduced new reforms to further strengthen these institutions. These include increased budgets, plans to establish new nursing colleges, and measures to address faculty shortages. Overall, these steps reflect a clear commitment to improving the standard of medical education in AJK.
