The joining of five PhD doctors from foreign countries in Khyber Medical University (KMU) Peshawar is a breath of fresh air at a time when there is a massive exodus of educated youth from the country. These new and committed PhD doctors will prove to be a valuable asset not only to KMU but to the entire province. Their joining KMU will improve the overall ranking of the university as well as the quality of knowledge and research.

He said that the inclusion of these five PhD doctors is not only a manifestation of their confidence in KMU, but it is also reflects their determination that they have the passion to render valuable services to the country and especially to their province.
