Preparing future doctors
Preparing Future Doctors for National Readiness
UOWA Partners with the World Health Organization to Train Students in Mass Gathering Medicine
How do we prepare future doctors to respond effectively in moments of national need?
At the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (UOWA), we believe that critical medical readiness must begin today — not tomorrow.
In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Colleges of Medicine and Nursing jointly organized an advanced hands-on workshop in Mass Gathering Medicine, designed for 40 students specializing in clinical and emergency healthcare disciplines.
With Iraq’s religious pilgrimages attracting millions of visitors each year, the training focused on three essential components:
- Medical response in high-density crowd environments
-Emergency preparedness and inter-agency coordination
-Simulation-based learning to enhance decision-making and real-world response capacity
This initiative represents more than a training exercise — it is a strategic investment in Iraq’s healthcare resilience. Through early exposure to real-world scenarios and global best practices, UOWA students are being equipped to serve society with skill, empathy, and professionalism in times of national and humanitarian need.
By fostering such experiential learning opportunities, the University reaffirms its commitment to advancing sustainable health systems and high-quality medical education, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing) and SDG 4: Quality Education.
