This includes rigorous assessments of curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, infrastructure, research capabilities, and student outcomes.
This prestigious accreditation reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, and students, and affirms that the UKH School of Medicine is among the leading medical institutions in the region. It also ensures that our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the healthcare sector both locally and globally.
