STUDYING MEDICINE IN ZAMBIA – THE WHY, WHEN AND WHERE.

Excerpts from a radio talk on Radio Phoenix by Dr.Ajay Poddar, Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC), Texila American University on 21st March 

1:12,000 

That’s not just a number. It’s the doctor: patient ratio in Zambia (WHO report).  

An alarming and poignant situation – that’s what the number actually represents. The shortage of trained doctors in Zambia is a pressing cause, and governments and healthcare organizations are leaving no stones unturned to address it. One feasible solution to the problem is to cultivate the culture of having home-grown doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners. A demand for studying medicine in Zambia therefore has been on the rise and both government and private universities are playing significant roles in providing quality education.

On 21st Match 2018, a talk show was organized by Radio Phoenix to address the pressing matter of why study medicine in Zambia and the quality of medical education being provided. Our Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC), Dr. Ajay Poddar was invited to the event to share his thoughts on the current state and how Texila American University (TAU) is helping in providing world-class medical education to its students. 

The highlights of the talk show included: 

• Why TAU is a global-university (details about our history, global presence with campuses in 3 countries, over 4000+ enrolled students from around 70 countries and more)

3rd Graduation Ceremony

A Doctor’s Voice

Sleepless Nights

Big Bright Lights

No fixed timings for me

At times I forget that I have a family behind

Just to make sure you are

happy and safe with your family!

Texila American University hosted its 3rd Graduation Ceremony with the Motto “TAU Graduates going beyond the challenges of change through Quality Education” at on 10th December 2016 to roll out the successful batch of Healthcare Professionals. Thirty-Five (35) Students from Guyana, Nigeria, India, South Africa, Uganda, Canada & Syrian Arab Republic were graduated from the University as Doctors and Nurses to serve the community.

It is a privilege and an honour to be hosting the graduation ceremony for our Third Batch of Graduates. We would like to express our gratitude for choosing Texila as a preferred partner for their career.

Since inception in 2010, TAU has witnessed immense growth. Every year “Graduation Day” is the only day for us which signifies the achievement and satisfaction of entire years of effort. We strongly believe that “Graduation is not just a goal instead it’s a beginning of a larger journey of life and all accomplishments we achieve during its course should be taken as starting points for further achievements.”

Our Chief guest, The Honourable Prime Minister of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Mr. Moses Nagamootoo, who presented the Graduation Message to our Students said “ the student being responsible healthcare professionals, should uphold the humanity and mankind to the society and treat this profession as noble one and should be committed to serve the community”

The Keynote Address was delivered by Mr. S.P. Saju Bhaskar, Founder and President of Texila American University. Speaking on the occasion he thanked all of the families and friends in the audience who are present. Recalling the famous saying by Nelson Mandela “Education is the best weapon you can use to change the world”, which is very true. Being educated does not imply to be a matter of proud unless that education is productive with regard to the necessities of the surrounding people and society. A literate on paper and degrees could not be called an educated person, unless he knows how to implement the learnt knowledge. Mr. Saju Bhaskar advised all the students to take the next steps in their journey towards building their career and future.

The Plaque of Appreciation was presented to the Chief Guest by the President of Texila American University. The Degrees were awarded to the Graduates by Hon’ble Prime minister of Guyana.

You all came to this country, far from your home, with dreams and hopes of one day, being called a “Doctor”. Today, your dreams are realized and your journey does not end; rather, it begins.”

We are proud of every single professional who graduated from our University and we are confident that our students will become “Responsible Citizens” “Responsible Healthcare Professionals” & “Responsible Life Savers” for their community, country and world.

We would like to thank all our Students and Well-Wishers who had supported us throughout our journey in making this milestone possible in the History of Texila!

Texila Raises Bar in Education Provision in Zambia

Texila American University (TAU) Group has pledged, through TAU Zambia, to push beyond the next level the quality of excellence in education provided in Zambia.

In so doing, over the last couple of weeks, TAU Zambia had been finalizing and consolidating its in-country operations prior to the January, 2017, inauguration of the newly acquired 25,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art campus in one of the Capital City’s most exclusive suburbs.

This consolidation has seen the finalization of the acquisition of TAU Zambia’s new property and the recruitment of highly qualified academic and support staff to run the university when it opens in March, 2017.

TAU’s Founder and President, Saju Bhaskar S.P, made it emphatically evident that TAU’s desire for educational excellence that supersedes what currently is the standard in Zambian Education could only be achieved through the expanding and maximising of Zambia’s educational capacity.

The President made this clear when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Health, Honourable Chitalu Chilufya M.D., at his offices on Tuesday, 25th October, 2016.

In plainly outlining how TAU, through TAU Zambia, would expand and maximize Zambia’s educational capacity, the President assured the Minister that TAU Zambia would bring together both local and international expats that would provide unparalleled and experience-drenched services, which, coupled with the quality education and infrastructure for which the TAU Group is synonymous, would maximize the aforementioned capacity.

“The high quality infrastructure that TAU Zambia’s facilities will provide in the form of state-of-the-art laboratories, classroom and libraries, and the Educational Tourism that will be generated by Zambia through the university’s aim of not only catering to Zambia but the rest of the region as well, will generate revenue for the country,” he said.

The President further unquestionably elaborated to the Honorable Minister that TAU Zambia was more than capable of not only exceeding the requirement standards set by the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ), but in setting a benchmark at which all other medical institutions in the country will be judged.

And speaking at the same occasion, Dr.Chilufya stated that the Ministry would facilitate partnerships between TAU Zambia and local hospitals for the successful training of medical doctors who graduate from the university.

The President acknowledged that the Ministry of Health’s facilitation of partnerships with local hospitals on behalf of TAU Zambia and, more so, his pledged personal capacity facilitation, would allow for a much larger partnership for TAU Zambia beyond the more than the five (5) hospitals that are already keen to partner with the university.

The School of Medicine, Department of Nursing, Department of Pharmacy, Department of Public Health, School of Business, Information & Technology, and Education, are among the inaugural schools for which the university is currently enrolling and that will commence in March, 2017.

Furthermore, the President acknowledged that pushing educational excellence in Zambia would require a two-pronged approach that is anchored on one end with the provision of quality education, and on the other end with the generation of revenue for the country to, thus, bolster and encourage more investment in the sector by the Government.

It is for this reason that when the President paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Higher Education, Honourable Nkandu Luo Ph.D., on Wednesday, 19th October, 2016, the main talking point was Educational Tourism and how TAU will capitalise on this revenue generating venture for the betterment of the Zambian republic.

Educational Tourism, which is one of the fastest growing areas of the travel that is part of the, as of 2014, US$7.6 trillion global tourism industry, refers to any programme in which participants travel to a location as a group with the primary purpose of engaging in a learning experience directly related to the location (Rodger, 1998: 28).

The main idea behind this concept is that travel is as much about self-improvement as it is about relaxation. Therefore, as students come to Zambia to study, they not only travel within their destination country of choice but throughout that county and even to neighboring lands.

The goal here is to widen the educational experience so that university students do not only know their own culture but also that of at least one other nation.
