Final
updates
through December 2007
World
directory of medical schools
by
the World Health Organization
The
WHO Department of Human Resources for Health, in collaboration with
its partners, has been compiling information on education and
training institutions for health workers around the world. WHO
received the following information on medical schools from the
governments of its member states for the updates to the world
directory of medical schools (base year 2000). This information
covers the period through December 2007, and constitutes the final
updates of the World Directory, before its incorporation into the new "Avicenna
Directories" global directories of education institutions for
health professions.
The
new global database "Avicenna", developed in collaboration
with the University of Copenhagen, replaces the directory of medical
schools and is expanded to other health professions starting with
pharmacy and public health schools. All data on the former World
Directory and its updates will be included in this new database.
Readers
are reminded that WHO has no authority to grant any form of
recognition or accreditation to schools of medicine or other training
institutions. Such a procedure remains the exclusive prerogative of
the national government concerned.
