The announcement was made yesterday on the main campus by the registrar of the Council, Professor Fatima Kyari, following a rigorous and objective re-accreditation exercise conducted by a team of 17 MDCN members at the University.
Kyari commended the University for its efforts to improve its facilities, while also pointing out the need for further development in key areas including the number and capacity of resource persons, pathology labs, transportation, and clinical skills support.
She stressed that the Council would maintain a strong monitoring presence to ensure continued compliance and would support the University’s efforts in building capacity and infrastructure.
In her response, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Patricia Manko Lar, expressed appreciation to the MDCN for the re-accreditation exercise.
Lar said, “The joy we feel regarding this announcement is boundless. We opened all our doors, there was no cover-up. We did our best, and the constructive feedback from the MDCN will push us to aim even higher.
We have been working tirelessly to grow this University and ensure our College of Health Sciences meets global standards. I am proud to be leading the University at this critical moment.
