Grant Description

In July 2010 the Pakistan Minister for Health Makhdoom Shahabudd signed multiple MoUs in the health sector with China, one of which was between the Pakistan Nursing Council and Wei Ming Medical University Shangdu, under which every year 50 Pakistani nursing students will be sent to China for four years English language programme.

The other MoUs were cooperation agreements related to vaccines, but did not appear to be projects. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
