NUR Final year medical students need help

Editor,

As we prepared for the end of our academic year at the National University of Rwanda in Huye, the varsity’s administration, for unclear reasons, told us that the financial facilitation for senior clerkship would no longer be available.

The withdrawal of the facilitation would affect our studies and something needs to be done.

This has been a habit in our faculty, where getting facilitation has been a hurdle.

Recently, faculty officials said that facilitation was not available due to budget constraints. I wonder how the university could have budgetary constraints now, yet the budget year starts in July.

We have to sit a final year examination which requires intensive preparation and research. I appeal to NUR to reconsider this decision and help the future doctors
