Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine was established in 1999 as a branch of the Palestinian Faculty of Medicine in Al-Quds University-Abu Dis. Since then, the Faculty has been gradually equipped with the basic infrastructure, classrooms and laboratories until it became a leading and pioneering Faculty at Al Azhar University.

The Faculty of Medicine is internationally recognized ( eg. the British Medical Council and United States ) where the school graduates are able to pursue their study there.

In order to improve the health of the community and set the standards of excellence in medical education, research and clinical care, the Faculty hosts a number of professors from foreign countries such as Britain and Norway in order to give qualitative courses in medicine and to participate in preparing the final exams for students of clinical stage.
