\u201cThe \u00a0NCHE\u00a0 leadership is now working on the details for the re-opening of universities\u00a0 and other institutions of higher learning that are training health professionals across the country after \u00a0President Museveni sanctioned\u00a0 the move to allow final year students to resume studies ,\u201d sources have told this publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a memo to all Vice Chancellors and Principles the NCHE Executive Director , Prof Mary J.N.Okwakol, said that the President had approved the re-opening of institutions with final year students undertaking health related training to fill the human resource gap the health sector would likely face as the recorded cases f Covid -19 increase across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The categories of students that will resume studies include , final year students training at bachelors level in medicine and bachelor surgery, nursing, midwifery, dental surgery, pharmacy , allied medical professionals , final post graduate students and those undertaking diploma programs .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
