Respected Sir/Madam

Fatima Memorial Hospital College of Medicine and Dentistry has

been an established institute of medical sciences in the heart of
Lahore for the past 20 years. It has paved its ways amongst the
highest-ranking medical colleges of Pakistan since its
establishment. While FMH has been working tirelessly to excel in
medical sciences, it has never been shy of honoring literature and
expressing its love for it, as a continuation of the celebration of
literature for the past 20 years.

FMH Debating and Literary Society is delighted to announce that

we will be holding our second annual bilingual Inter-Collegiate
Literary competition.

We will be absolutely delighted to receive participation from

but it will also leave its impression on us for our whole lives.
