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.
The establishment of a Medical College in Bannu will play major role in the
improvement of Health Services in this area. The Chief Minister of N.W.F.P, Mr.
Akram Khan Durrani announced the establishment of Bannu Medical College Bannu
