School of Nursing
The School of Nursing was started in March
1993 as a teaching arm of the hospital 
The objective and philosophy of this institution is to prepare
nurses who will function as members of the health team, with
competencies for first level positions in both hospital and
community. We provide our students with knowledge and equip them
with professional expertise to meet the changing demands of
society.
We believe that Nursing education is a process of growth
directed towards development of the student as a prospective
member of the nursing profession who will uphold the dignity of
the nursing profession.
We are looking forward to upgrading our School into a College of
