MPUC SET TO START A MEDICAL SCHOOL
MPUC has officially entered into strategic partnership with Coast Provincial General Hospital and Ghent University from Belgium, to jointly start a medical school within the Mombasa Campus.
Speaking during the launch which was also graced by the Belgium Ambassador to Kenya, the Chairman of the Council Pro. Abdulghafur EL - Busaidy said the vision of having the three partners with a common objective to establish a Medical School is a brilliant idea that will not only benefit this community, but the nation at large.
In the partnership, the Coast General Hospital will provide the clinical training platform and also provide internship for the established University College Graduates.
The representative from the ministry of medical services Dr. Maurice Siminyu said the move comes as a reinforcement of what they have already been doing, training the doctors and nurses.
Dr. Siminyu also said that they will be privileged to provide lecturers and other staff needed to run the training.
Meanwhile the University of Ghent which was represented by the Rector, Prof. Dr. Paul Van Cauwenberge will develop the curriculum, in collaboration with other local and international stakeholders. University of Ghent also donated 200 computers that will add value to training, Research, innovation and service delivery.
The senator of the Belgium Parliament, who is also the chairman of the ICRH board Dr Marleen Temmerman said the partnership is a start of the major collaborations, and they are ready to work with MPUC, to produce the best students as required in the market.
Apart from this major stride, MPUC has been benchmarking with international institutions of higher learning in Africa and across the globe. One was Kyambogo University Uganda, the Makerere University School of Business (MUBS) and lately Mbeya Institute of Science and Technology Mbeya (MIST - Tanzania).
The chairman of the council Pro El – Busaidy said, “a visit by these three universities, and now Ghent University, is a clear demonstration of quality of our programmes and an assurance that we indeed are acknowledged”.
He however cautioned that the three institutions need to carefully guard on the identified strength and opportunities as strategies to address some of the identified gaps are being set. This he said is as a result of the competitive forces in the higher education set up.
The launch was conducted at the MPUC graduation square on 27th August 2012.
HEY CP do you think MPUC IS MAKING RIGHT STEP?..............
