The mission of Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences is to foster excellence in health professional education and research, to educate and train undergraduate and graduate students of medical and health sciences in accordance with highest professional standards and ethical values and to meet the healthcare needs of the community through dissemination of knowledge and service.

LiaquatUniversity of Medical & Health Sciences, the first public sector Medical University, has a long history of Imparting Medical Education in the region. It’s started as Medical School in the present Civil Hospital, Hyderabad in 1881. This school was upgraded to the status of Medical College, the Sindh Medical College, which was formally inaugurated by the then Governor of Sindh in 1945. The Sindh Government subsequently started another College in the premises of same Civil Hospital and Hyderabad in 1951, which acquired its name, Liaquat Medical College after the assassination of the first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan.

The college during its journey for more than 50 years has made tremendous contribution in both medical education and health care in the province and the country. The premises of Civil Hospital Hyderabad soon after its inception became inadequate for the rapidly expanding Departments of the college, therefore a site for its future campus was selected at Jamshoro and a beautiful and spacious campus spreading over 570 acres along with a teaching hospital was erected within few years at Jamshoro. The shifting of majority of departments to the new campus was completed in 1963. The college continued its march towards achieving excellence in various disciplines with greater speed and vigour at its new campus. Initially, it conducted MBBS courses only. The Dental Section for imparting education and training for the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) was added in 1963. In the same year the college also started Postgraduate courses. The number of Postgraduate courses expanded gradually and the college acquired the status of a Postgraduate Medical Institute in 1989. Besides, it became a recognized institution for the training for FCPS & MCPS in almost all disciplines of Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry and Allied Sciences. It also received recognition from accreditation bodies of foreign countries such as British General Medical Council of UK, ECFMG of USA and similar bodies of several other countries.

With the up-gradation to Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, the Institution has augmented its efforts to streamline both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, and to strengthen its basic and clinical science departments. Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences has the privilege that Chandks Medical College, Larkana, Peoples Medical College for Girls Nawabshah and Jamshoro college of Nursing are affiliated with it from the very beginning.

Although it is a long way to go, however, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, under its founding Vice Chancellor, Prof. Jan Mohammad Memon, is now in the full business of academics and conduct of examinations of all undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It is also making concerted efforts to develop linkages with national and international institutions for the promotion of research, curriculum development and for raising quality of health care and diagnostic facilities at its attached hospital. In this regard, the University has constituted five faculties namely, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Community & Public Health Sciences, Faculty of Medical & Allied Sciences, Faculty of Surgery & Allied Sciences and Faculty of Dentistry. It may be worth mentioning that the University is also taking keen interest in nursing graduate education and is conducting B.Sc. Nursing courses and examination.
