SANA’A – 12 January 2026

The Council of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Sana’a University held its eighth regular meeting for the academic year 2025/2026. The meeting was presided over by Prof. Mohammed Al-Shehari, Dean of the Faculty, with the attendance of the Vice Deans, Department Heads, and the Director of Kuwait University Hospital.
The meeting focused on a comprehensive agenda aimed at advancing the academic, administrative, and clinical operations of the Faculty.

The Council reviewed detailed reports on the educational progress across various departments. Key outcomes included:
– Reviewing and approving the examination results for Master’s and PhD students across multiple medical specialties.
– Reviewing administrative and regulatory measures for faculty members, including teaching assistants and assistant professors, to ensure optimal academic performance.
A major highlight of the meeting was the strategic focus on bridging the gap between academic theory and clinical practice by:
– Approving a strategic move to designate Faculty Department Heads as the respective Heads of Departments within the University Hospital. This integration is designed to streamline clinical training and improve institutional synergy.

In line with the Faculty’s commitment to excellence, the Council discussed mechanisms to improve the medical learning environment and student training protocols. The meeting concluded with the ratification of the previous meeting’s minutes and a reaffirmation of the Faculty’s dedication to continuous institutional development.
