Ladies and Gentlemen, as we all know, besides providing knowledge and scientific research, the university also provides services to the society, whether through the private or public sectors, whether in partnership with organizations and universities We have conducted many similar programs to serve the community both in partnership with organizations and universities
Our honorable guests, Erbil Polytechnic University consists of six colleges and six institutes which offer more than 42 programs in 132 scientific departments, about 41 of which are dedicated to health and medicine, and 11 departments are dedicated to disease analysis in the evening and morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an important issue for every individual in society, because every individual needs medical examination. We believe that there are three important points related to this issue: how to train laboratory staff, the equipment quality imported from abroad They are used in analyses, so this forum should focus on these points.
What is related to the universities, colleges and institutes is how to train these cadre. We must be serious about how to train these cadres, and how to train these students together with the Ministry of Health. We as a university have paid special attention to it and have set up special programs for it.
