Will they be competent enough? Nevertheless our sincere desire to serve the people and the nation have proven the doubters wrong and brought us to where we are today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThus UKM has to date produced 5384 medical practitioners most of whom are serving the country with some working abroad. Apart from that UKM has also produced some 2814 medical specialists,\u201d Prof Noor Azlan said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition UKM has also made many medical breakthroughs, resulting in its Medical Faculty recognised as one of the best in the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite all its achievements, UKM\u2019s unwavering focus has always been about serving the community. The establishment of the community health training centre is to make sure that the rural community will also benefit from the Faculty\u2019s findings and discoveries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are grateful to the community for allowing us to serve them while at the same time helping our students to gain valuable exposures\u201d, Prof Noor Azlan said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Centre was launched by Chairman of the UKM Board of Directors, Emeritus Professor Dato\u2019 Dr Mohamad Zawawi Ismail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also present was Dean of the Medical Faculty, Prof Dato Dr Raymond Azman Ali and the people of Beranang.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/kesihatanlaunch2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/kesihatanlaunch3.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2014\/kesihatanlaunch4.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"leftblock\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUESDAY, 18 MARCH 2014 14:33 By Shahfizal Musa Pix Ikhwan Hashim BERANANG, 16 Mar 2014 &#8211; The National University of<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/tahun-2014\/march-2014\/ukm-launched-its-fourth-community-health-centre\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5370,"parent":1103,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5369","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5369"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5372,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5369\/revisions\/5372"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
