Community Medicine in Pakistan: Is it still in doldrums?.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;56(12):610-1.

Community medicine has gained recognition and momentum in Pakistan but its reflection cannot be seen on the general population in terms of true public health. The teaching institutions are taking this discipline seriously which is evidenced by the fact that the subject of behavioural sciences has been added, more faculty members are recruited and local courses like that of M.P.H. (master of public health) have been commenced. In terms of education, it has improved as we now see many doctors with M.P.H., M.S. Ph.D.s beside the local FCPS and MCPS holders. Credit is however, being given to holders of foreign MPH towards FCPS. The part I of FCPS is now in general medicine which is deterring prospective candidates to take this exam and follow the specialty.
