A batch of 22 medical teachers have received their Certification after completing an elaborate training Programme at the University of Health Sciences (UHS) in Lahore, under the aegis of the University of Liverpool – United Kingdom.

The project was launched by the “International Strategic Partnership in Research and Education (INSPIRE) under the sponsorship of British Council.

During the Certificate distribution ceremony, the Regional Director of British Council – Richard Weyers, addressed the participants and media, stating that; The INSPIRE project aimed at strengthening the academic and research partnership between the UK and Pakistan.

The Vice Chancellor of UHS – Major General (Retd) Prof. Muhammad Aslam said; “The university has over 42 affiliated medical and dental colleges.
