| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. PMDC register: named physician Dr. Shumaila Khan matched uniquely by full name (RegistrationNo 100531-P, Status ACTIVE, ValidUpto 05/03/2028) with only a BASIC MEDICAL QUALIFICATION (M.B.,B.S., National Uni. of Medical Sciences RWP, 2018) recorded; no dermatology specialty is disclosed on the register (the foreign dermatology diploma the clinic's own site describes is not reflected in the PMDC qualifications block).

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
