Indeed a proud day for AKU! However, AKU needs to strengthen and invest further - build up and expand so that it becomes one of the best UNIVERSITIES out there, not just a top-notch medical school. Each laurel entails even more hard work and commitment.
This is such good news! Feeling proud to be an AKU grad :)
