Baqai Dental College

INTRODUCTION

Under the able guidance of Dr Shoaib Baqai, Chancellor, BMU, Prof. Dr Iftikhar Ahmed, Vice Chancellor, BMU, and Pro-Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr Kashif Ikram, BMU – the winning team of BDC has worked with traditional zeal and enthusiasm to turn this dream into reality. Baqai Dental College is now a nationally and internationally recognised seat of learning.

Our graduates are not just performing with distinction in the Community Oriented Medical Education (COME) sector; they are engaged in imparting quality education in the country and abroad as well. Therefore, our goal at BDC is not just confined to teaching dental diseases and their management; we aim to light up the fire of original thinking and devotion to service to ailing humanity within each student. I hope we were successful. We will find the answers in your achievements. Dentistry has changed tremendously in the last decade and we have reached to a new horizon where patients are well aware of the needs and demands of the treatment.

We at Baqai Dental College believe in the slogan “Treat the patient, not the tooth”. It means the old conventional concept of treating a single tooth has been obsolete and the entire management of the patient is required. Since its inception in 1990, as a pioneer dental college in the private sector and the 1st in the cosmopolitan city of Karachi, the students of Baqai Dental College have excelled in all colours of life.

Our motto is not only to develop skills; but to harness the personalities and give Pakistan, as a country, cultured professional human beings. It is an eternal promise that we shall guide, counsel and nurture you all as the brightest souls of the generation next. All the successes we honour today are made possible because of your hard work and your perseverance. You have gracefully accomplished all this because of your parents and teachers who have extended the best financial, emotional, spiritual and moral support to you throughout. Always keep them in your prayers. I wish you all a positive attitude, devotion and passion to work hard, you must keep Baqai Dental College shining.

I am confident that you will prepare for a bright and prosperous future and take on a world of infinite possibilities. May Allah guide you in your future endeavours and may you attain new heights.
