On Thursday, the Da Nang Technical University of Medicine and Pharmacy held a ceremony to review its performance over the 2014 - 2015 academic year and to mark the start of its 2015 - 2016 academic year.  The event also welcomed the over 2,100 new students who have enrolled at the university.  In attendance at the event were the Deputy Minister of Health, Mr Le Quang Cuong, and the municipal People’s Committee Vice Chairman, Mr Vo Duy Khuong.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister Cuong praised the University for its remarkable achievements over the last academic year.  He also took the opportunity to urge the university to upgrade its facilities and renew its teaching methods in order to train qualified human resources to meet the demands of the country’s socio-economic development.  The focus should be on promoting highly-applicable scientific research, and boosting bilateral educational cooperation and teaching experience exchanges with foreign universities worldwide.

So far this year, the University has set up bilateral cooperative ties with 7 international universities and organisations.

To mark the occasion, around 60 of the University’s departments and teaching staff members were awarded Certificates of Merit from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and Training, the municipal Party Committee and the local People’s Committee in recognition of their significant efforts to the development of local education.
