The 16 students are part of a larger group of over 200 medical students who arrived in Rwanda from Sudan earlier this month, compelled to continue their education after a military upheaval disrupted their academic pursuits.<\/p>\n

Abdalla Aljabry, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Medical Science and Technology of Sudan, said: “the 16 students together with other 14 who were examined in Sudan make up a team of 30 new doctors are poised to contribute their knowledge towards serving the community.”<\/p>\n

Every necessity for our exams was meticulously provided, and we express our gratitude for their kindness and generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n
