Inauguration

Sahiwal is an district and division of Punjab, having a rich agriculture-based economy. Feeling the utmost need of a medical college in the area, on 27 November 2010, Chief Minister Punjab laid the foundation stone of Sahiwal Medical College. The government has allotted 70 acres near Central Jail Sahiwal for the college, where the campus was completed at the cost of Rs. 1 billion in 2014 and the college shifted to its new building.[2][3]

Recognition

The medical college is listed in the International Medical College Education Directory (IMED).[4]

gollark: I did think of the idea of *only* having `revisions` and just running weird queries on that, but it involves more problems.
gollark: Also, the latest update to something doesn't show on the user-visible revisions page, which is a minor nitpick but I mildly dislike it.
gollark: This isn't really ideal, as I think I'm duplicating data a bit (timestamps), updating a page involves more work, and more importantly the `revisions` thing doesn't have any relevant information beyond what's available from `pages`.
gollark: Basically, when there's a new revision, the apiosystem reads the current content out of `pages`, compresses it, generates and serializes the metadata, then shoves in a row into `revisions`.
gollark: As of now I do this:```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( title TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, content TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, created INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE revisions ( page TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(title), timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL, meta BLOB NOT NULL, -- contains revision metadata and type -- ChangeContent { size } is the only one here for now full_data BLOB -- contains optionally compressed text);```but it is not ideal.
