HC Deb 27 January 1959 vol 598 cc89-90W
67. Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what facilities are available for the training of doctors and other medical personnel in Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika; and what steps are being taken by the Governments of these territories to promote the training of medical students in these countries.

Mr. J. Amery

Education to degree standard and post-graduate instruction for doctors is provided at Makerere College—the University College of East Africa—whose medical qualification is recognised by the General Medical Council. Training centres exist and new centres are under construction in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika for the training of medical assistants, and of the auxiliary medical personnel. Bursaries are awarded by each Government to enable students to study at Makerere College.
