Our mission is to be an outstanding teaching and research pole, educating for life and addressing the challenges facing our society.

We aim at achieving excellence in:

1. Professional education including undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education, along with patient and community education. (Teach undergraduate and postgraduate students' special surgery to become competent, humane and ethical health professionals, educators, researchers and leaders.)

2. Scientific research and publishing of data.

We are committed to academic freedom, critical scholarship, rational and creative thought and free inquiry.

It is part of our mission to ensure that these ideals live; this necessarily requires a dynamic process of finding the balance in a range of choices: choices between freedom and responsibility, rights and obligations, transparency and efficiency, and autonomy and accountability.

This, according to our vision and firm belief, can be achieved through consultation and debate.

3- Nurture our faculty and employee to become highly motivated, competent and committed.

 

4- Practice governance that is transparent and participatory.

We believe in the values of academic excellence, professionalism, social responsibility and accountability, compassion, leadership, integrity and nationalism.
