Strategic Focus

A key pillar of our 2024–2028 Strategic Plan is to "enhance excellence in research and publishing." We are actively developing policies for research, publications, and intellectual property rights.

Future Goals

  • Establish a Research Ethics Committee
  • Incentivise publications in reputable journals
  • Initiate research partnerships with international universities and organisations to address local and global health challenges

Community-Focused Research

Our mission extends beyond the classroom through the training of Community Health Workers, TB treatment supporters, and various community-based health promotion activities — all underpinned by our Christian principles.
