Both parties aim to qualify healthcare professionals to effectively meet the needs of the job market.”
The MoU encourages the two organisations to work jointly on designing and developing academic pathways and higher degree programmes, including professional certificates and post-graduate studies for the healthcare sector. Students from UDST will be able to take advantage of practical opportunities at Al Ahli Hospital, along with enhanced support for their capstone projects.
