“Our school of nursing and allied health science is offering quality programmes in nursing include midwifery, acute care, primary health care, child health, and public health etc.

“Plan also under consideration to offer care course in the school of nursing to meet the demands of this group of nurses in Australia and New Zealand,” Rai said.

Rai said the university is also preparing to cooperate and partner with agencies such as DFAT and NZAID in providing skill workers to assist in their several programmes.

“As a university we are happy to play our part in supporting this programme, as we believe it is beneficial to all partner countries in many ways.

“It strengthens people to people ties and brings about deeper regional integration, besides fostering economic growth in the island nations,” he said.
