A very useful get together and frank discussions with Vice Chancellor KEMU, DG Nursing and nursing students was held at KEMCAANA Learning Center Bahawalpur block King Edward Medical University Lahore. It was suggested to SHC&ME department to overcome issue of shortage of teachers in nursing schools by taking help of faculty and consultants in their attached medical colleges and teaching hospitals.
