Learning is a continuous, non-discrete process. Exhausting, challenging and transformative are the words one could use to describe the Bachelors of Science in Nursing, a program in Amref International University. Transformation comes in especially from strong support from the very able lecturers. By playing a major role of imparting knowledge and skills to the students they encourage self-reliance and promote hard work.

My name is Jeefa Makonnen, a Physiotherapy student at Amref International University. Physiotherapy is about healing and rehabilitating people with our hands. This is one of the main reasons I love Physiotherapy. As a Physiotherapist you get to witness the resilience and strength of your patients and as well as be the reason they were able to get to that point. I am glad to be able to follow my passion in this field and Amref has made it possible

Inspiring Lasting Change is what keeps me going. Amref International
University has made me feel at home since the first day I stepped into the
university. My name is Mwaura Faith Wanjiru, a fourth-year student
pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Practice. My passion
started way back when I was a kid. I could see people dying and I
couldn’t understand. So I decided to do Community Health Practice to try and prevent diseases and promote health to the community.
Being at Amref International University will support my passion to
promote health in the community.
