The current government has allocated Rs 600 million in recent budget for the long ignored project of Fatima Jinnah Institute of Dental Sciences (FJID) despite the economic emergency in the country.
The long struggle of dental community, associations and media must be appreciated, as well as the efforts of Dr Arif Alvi, President of Pakistan, who finally made it possible to allocate necessary funds for the completion of FJID.
He paid a special visit to his alma mater, and assured that he would fulfil the commitment made by him at the special briefings in President House where he met with a delegation comprising Principal Prof Waheed Ul Hamid, Project Director Prof Usman Akhtar, and Dr Wasif Ali Khan.
