We would like to proudly announce that the construction of the new NMDC premises in Erbil has been completed. The building contains spaces for theoretical learning, clinical simulation, activities, events, and conferences, that will be used for the development of healthcare in the Kurdistan Region with a focus on nursing and midwifery.
