BANNU MEDICAL COLLEGE, BANNU

The name of Bannu is derived from

“Bano” who was the wife of Shah Farid

IIyas (Sheetak), the founder of present

day Bannu and the Banochi Tribe which

came from Shawal. Bannu is a thickly

populated District located in the heart of

southern region of N.W.F.P with its

boundaries touching the Districts of

Karak, Lakki Marwat, and the North &

the South Wazirstan Agencies. Besides

this, it also drains a huge population of

Afghanistan. The people of Bannu are

faced with the dearth of Health facilities.

in Bannu will play major role in the
