Pakistan's Medical Workforce Registry – Intelligence Dashboard

Accurate and accessible workforce data is essential for effective health system planning. The PMDC Medical Workforce Intelligence Dashboard presents consolidated national data on registered medical and dental practitioners across Pakistan. Developed using official registration records published by the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC), this interactive dashboard transforms raw registry data into clear, visual insights for policymakers, health system planners, researchers, and the general public.

By digitizing and visualizing PMDC registration data, the dashboard enables users to quickly assess workforce size, qualification patterns, institutional sourcing, and registration trends across the country.

Explore Pakistan's Medical Workforce Data

The dashboard provides a structured overview of doctors and dentists registered through the national regulatory system. Users can analyze:

  • Trends in registration volume and license status over time
  • University and institutional sourcing of the medical workforce
  • Degree, qualification, and specialization patterns
  • Province-wise workforce distribution (inferred from institutional records)
  • Gender composition of the registered workforce (inferred where not directly recorded)
  • Data completeness and quality across the underlying registry

This helps stakeholders understand workforce composition, identify institutional and regional concentration, and support evidence-based planning for the health workforce.

Disclaimer

The data presented in this dashboard is sourced from official registration records published by the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC). The information has been compiled and visualized for improved understanding and accessibility.

Some fields — including gender and province — are not directly recorded in the source registry and are instead inferred (from practitioner names and university locations, respectively) using a best-effort heuristic; these are clearly marked as inferred throughout the dashboard and should be treated as approximate, not authoritative. Where district/city-level data is not available in the source records, this is stated explicitly rather than estimated.

This dashboard is intended for general informational and analytical purposes only. While every effort has been made to reflect the data accurately as recorded in the official registry, figures are displayed as available in the source data without alteration, and any gaps in the underlying registry are reflected transparently rather than filled in.
