Ameer-ud-Din Medical College (AMC) has become the first public sector medical institution in Pakistan to introduce virtual body dissection, marking a major milestone in modernising medical education with international-standard digital anatomy technology.
The state-of-the-art digital anatomy system, valued at Rs15 million, was inaugurated on Thursday by the Principal, Postgraduate Medical Institute (PGMI) and Lahore General Hospital (LGH), Prof. Dr. Farooq Afzal.
The facility will provide medical students with advanced practical training in human anatomy, organ functions and complex medical procedures through a cutting-edge digital platform.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Prof. Dr. Farooq Afzal said the modern technology had been provided through the educational and research support of philanthropists.
He described the system as a life-size, touch-enabled 3D virtual human body that allows students to digitally dissect different body parts, zoom into anatomical structures and rotate them 360 degrees for detailed study.
He said the advanced technology would enable safe, effective and comprehensive learning of human anatomy without the use of traditional chemicals or human cadavers, offering students a modern and interactive learning experience.
The PGMI principal said the institute was committed to equipping students with contemporary education and training in line with global standards.
He added that the new laboratory would allow students to practice procedures in a safe and controlled environment before treating patients or performing surgeries, significantly improving their professional skills, confidence and clinical competence.
Prof. Dr. Farooq Afzal appreciated the philanthropists for their educational support, saying such contributions would further strengthen academic and research standards while also helping improve patient care services at Lahore General Hospital.
He reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to providing international-standard educational and research facilities to ensure that AMC and LGH continue promoting quality medical education, innovation and patient-friendly healthcare services.
Among those present at the ceremony were Prof. Atiya Mubarak, Prof. Tasleem Raza, Prof. Shaista Farooq, Prof. Fauzia Farzana, Prof. Muniza Saeed, Medical Superintendent Prof. Faryad Hussain, Prof. Kanwal Saeed, Dr. Shaista Mubeen, Dr. Shagufta Nasreen, Prof. Tayyaba Gul Malik, Prof. Farhan Rashid, Dr. Abdul Aziz, Dr. Himna Ansari, along with faculty members, doctors and students.
