There is no standard informed consent practice in the tertiary level healthcare institutions and hospitals. This study argues that the existing informed consent practice before performing cesarean section in most of the tertiary level hospitals can be regarded merely as consent (and I call it mereconsent) rather than informed consent. The private hospitals and clinics usually provide so-called informed consent forms. Majority of these hospitals and clinics consider the informed consent as an institutional procedure rather than ethical procedure; and they use the informed consent form as a safeguard if there is any trouble concerning the safety of patient. This study concludes that informed consent in true sense needs to be practiced in cesarean sections. Obtaining informed consent may provide moral confidence to the physicians and inspire them t...

Quality assurance cultivates a successful education system in the country. Thus, this study observed the impact of “service quality dimensions on university student’s satisfaction through the framework of “HedPERF (higher education performance)”. The sample was purposively drawn from 300 university students of Karachi, and the data were analyzed by using “structural equation modelling (SEM)”. Additionally, significant associations were found between service quality dimensions and the satisfaction of students. The discussed findings embrace the implications for HEIs and practitioners of quality management.

This city was founded by a Hindu tradesman, was named after a local woman 'Mai Kolachi'. The contemporary Karachi's journey can be written down in four clear stages. First stage is of the colonial Karachi, secondly Karachi as the capital of a newly born country, third comes a disarrayed Karachi in search of its identity and finally the most recent stage of it as the 7th largest megacity of the world. The objective of this paper is to view Karachi in light of these stages and try to understand why it was chosen as the capital of Pakistan and what circumstances occurred to shift capital to Islamabad. Does Karachi still have the potential to become the capital of Pakistan again? This issue weighs heavy in the politics and some political parties have already used it for their election campaigns. Our leaders claim that they will make Karachi the future capital of Pakistan; is this a feasible or a doable claim; this paper aims to answer this question.
