LSBU welcomes delegation from Malaysian Ministry of Health
London South Bank University's Medical Architecture Research Unit (MARU) was delighted to host the two GPs and to provide a two week study courseThe course, "Clinical planning with a Focus on Public/Private Partnerships", included input from MARU lecturers and students (past and present) who have direct experience in the procurement of health buildings through such partnerships. The doctors also visited a number of health facilities including an acute hospital, a birthing centre, a community health clinic and an intermediate care facility.
Liz Whelan of MARU said: "We were delighted to be asked to provide this bespoke short course for Dr Saudah Binti Mat Akhir and Dr Khairani bt Halid who are clinical planners. I think they felt they had gained a tremendous amount of learning from their visit and it says a lot about LSBU and MARU that we continue to be seen as a centre of excellence in the field of health planning. We hope that we can do more work with our colleagues in Malaysia in the future."
