The University of Sargodha has officially launched its campus and affiliated teaching hospital in China, becoming the first Pakistani university to establish both an academic and medical presence there.
According to university officials, the initiative aims to strengthen higher education collaboration, medical training, and joint research between Pakistan and China. The campus will facilitate academic programs and faculty exchanges, while the hospital component will support clinical training, healthcare services, and applied medical research.
Officials say the move will provide Pakistani students and faculty with international exposure and enhance institutional cooperation in education and health sciences. The development is being viewed as a significant step toward the internationalisation of Pakistan’s higher education sector.
Education experts note that the launch reflects growing confidence in Pakistani universities to expand abroad and contribute to cross-border academic and healthcare collaboration.
