kmu values - Khyber Medical University

FOREWORD
Khyber Medical University was established in January 2007. It prioritized the development of allied health sciences. The establishment
of KMU Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (IPM&R) was the first step in fulfilling that mission. In 2009 the first
batch of 25 students was admitted. The classes of B.S Physiotherapy were started in the building of KMU Institute of Public Health
& Social Sciences. Khyber Medical University always desired to find a separate building for this institute. The provincial Health
Department was approached for the allotment of recently vacated building of PIPOS situated in Hayatabad Medical Complex. The
health department very graciously acceded to the demand of KMU and the said building was handed over the KMU for its Institute of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The personal interest of Secretary Health Dr. Sohail Altaf is highly appreciated in this regard.
IPM & R will be starting the third batch in February 2011. Because of the high demand the seats for the next academic session have
been increased to 30. This was mainly possible because of the availability of space in the new building. Khyber Medical University will
take every step to further improve the quality of education in the institute. Khyber Medical University accepted all changes, tasks with
firm determination and total commitment. I hope the Institute will provide every opportunity to both its students and staff to further
their professional development.
