He said that in KMU education is being imparted in various disciplines from diploma and bachelor to MPhil, master, and PhD levels. He said that besides 26 private and public sector medical and dental colleges, more than 200 institutions of nursing, physiotherapy, and allied health sciences are affiliated with the university, in which 50 thou-sand male and female students are studying.
