ABSTRACT
The Faculty has contributed to improvements in health care through its research, training, service and outreach programmes. Basic and applied research in malnutrition, vomiting sickness, veno-occlusive disease, infectious diseases, family planning, sickle cell disease, antenatal care, and many others has yielded important scientific data, and information that has guided health care. Service work includes organisation of and participation in health education and promotion, and in the clinical, laboratory, radiological and other services in institutions linked to the Faculty. Outreach programmes have ranged from response to disasters, to organising and/or participating in special projects for countries, to participation of the faculty and/or individual staff members in conferences, workshops and consultations with appropriate authorities. 3,746 medical graduates and 1,147 medical specialist have been trained; 722 nurses have been awarded certificates, and 134 baccalaureates, in Nursing Administration or Education; 188 health professionals have received the Masters, and 38 the Diploma in Public Health, and nearly 300 the Diploma in Community Health. Staff members have helped to train nurses, laboratory technologists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, radiographers, and other health professionals. These people have been or are involved in research; formulation and implementation of health policy; health education and promotion; and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. They therefore supplement and/or contribute to the Faculty's activities. However, there have also been some shortcomings in the Faculty's response to some of the regional problems, and it is important to address these and the new challenges.(AU)
