For nearly a decade
there was no
higher educational institution that would produce qualified doctors and other professionals.
A large
number of qualified Somali doctors have either became the victims
of the civil war or fled from the country in search of better livelihood and security.
In response to this
need, a group of Somali doctors, after thorough analysis of the situation, have
decided to reverse the gloomy scenario of the situation. In this regard, they have
established Benadir University in October 2002.
The university started
with a single faculty, the Faculty of Medicine. However, on the basis of innovative
and strategic vision of the university, we have added other important disciplines.
Currently Benadir University has 4 faculties with more than 500 students.
The programs of the
university are designed to develop the personality of the students and prepare them
for playing their role in the development of the country. The University of Benadir
strives to establish an open system of innovation and critical thinking similar
to that in the developed countries.
