Iconic Institutions #3: UNIMAS’s Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences

In conjunction with Merdeka and Malaysia Days, here on the show we’re running a mini-series to celebrate iconic institutions of healthcare, from institutions of education, to research and health services. In this episode, we’re crossing over to East Malaysia to Universiti Malaysia Sarawak’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, which first opened their doors in 1995. We speak to Prof Dr Asri Said, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, UNIMAS to find out more.
