Situated in Saddar town, the center of Karachi, DOW Medical College is the place for students who are willing to become tough, street smart and independent individuals. Civil hospital provides a unique clinical experience, something which is not offered by many private health care centers. You will find cases which are hardly ever reported in other hospitals.
