One of MI's key concerns is the growing trend of our community's students traveling to far-off destinations such as the Caribbean, China, or Eastern Europe for further medical education. This is a tremendous drain of our resources, which can also be addressed through this venture. As a solution, MI is developing this Medical and Dental College, which will eventually transform into a full-fledged Medical University (Sadiq International University or SIU). Globally, we aim to offer our students an advanced, integrated, competitive, yet affordable medical education.
At UMC, our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to the people of Pakistan, regardless of their socio-economic status. We are dedicated to creating a state-of-the-art medical complex that fosters innovation, compassion, and excellence in patient care. Through collaborative efforts and unwavering commitment, we aim to improve the health and well-being of our masses, ensuring that every individual receives the medical attention they deserve.
