The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) will offer aid to establish a nursing school in Bangladesh. This will be the first nursing institute in the South Asian nation equipped with a post-graduate degree program. For this, the Korean government is planning to provide more support than ever before.
Scheduled to open in July 2016, the nursing institute is expected to produce some 60 alumni each year, starting in 2018. Currently, a total of three Bangladeshi professors are studying for a master's degree in nursing at Yonsei University and some 34 additional professors will be invited to Seoul to receive a similar education.
As part of the cooperation project, KOICA held a seminar on the development and training of nursing experts on July 28 at a medical university in Dhaka. In the future, the new institute will continue to receive aid from Yonsei University in terms of the development of a curriculum for its post-graduate courses and for the management of its alumni.
