Acting Dean of College of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Dr William May says they are looking at getting 90 new MBBS students for next year which is inclusive of other nations from the region.

Dr May says they are also looking at 150 new students inclusive of other nations from the region for the B Nursing program and adds if all the places get filled they are looking at more than 800 new students.
