NUCare! On Campus Clinic... |
|
In November 2010, Northrise University broke ground for a clinic to be called NUCare! The University embarked on this project in order to help facilitate health care services to its students, staff, faculty and surrounding community. Thor Development, a construction company in Zambia was awarded the contract and has since begun works. NUCare! will offer basic health services for Northrise University and the surrounding community as access to health care has been a challenge. Having a health center on Campus means peace of mind… Peace of mind for the parents; being able to send their child to a university without over worrying when their child is sick. Peace of mind for students; being able to enjoy learning without the stress of how to access health care. Peace of mind for faculty and staff; being able to work with joy knowing that when they or their family member is unwell, care is available. Peace of mind for the community; it comforting to know that at last a clinic is within reach. Most importantly a peace of mind for Northrise University; knowing that it can offer basic health care, turning it from a privilege to a right because a healthy student is a healthy community; a healthy community is a healthy Zambia.
