Program Director Bilha Achieng with the Principal and first class of students
The new Juba College of Nursing and Midwifery that Real Medicine supports and helps manage in South Sudan has finished with the foundation level courses for it’s first class of 40 students and getting ready to begin the diploma program next week. In honor of this milestone, the Southern Sudan Medical Journal has published an article focused on the new College and it’s mission. This is a unique project for Real Medicine as we are focused on building the actual capability of Sudanese to help themselves through their own resources in the future. Graduating 40 new diploma level Nurses and Midwives every year will go a long way in helping South Sudan rebuild after decades of neglect.
As mentioned in the article, Bilha Achieng is Real Medicine’s program director for South Sudan and is doing an amazing job managing the launch of the College.
