Who regulates doctors in Pakistan?
Doctors practising in Pakistan must be registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), the statutory regulator. Registration must be valid to practise medicine, including via telemedicine.
Telemedicine practice rules
The PMDC regulates medical practice and professional conduct in Pakistan; these standards apply to remote consultations as they do to in-person care. (The regulator was previously constituted as the Pakistan Medical Commission, PMC; verify the current registration body and its telemedicine guidance directly with the regulator.)
- You must hold a valid, current registration with the PMDC to consult patients β online or in person.
- Professional-conduct, consent and record-keeping standards apply to remote consultations the same way they apply in a clinic.
- E-prescribing is permitted only within the rules the regulator sets β confirm what may and may not be prescribed remotely before you do so.
Verify with the regulator before you practise
Telemedicine rules in Pakistan can change, and detailed clinical and prescribing requirements are set by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. This page is general guidance, not legal advice. Always confirm your registration status and the current telemedicine guidance directly with the PMDC.
