AKU opens healthcare simulation centre in Nairobi
Kenya’s president Uhuru Kenyatta inaugurated the new, 33,000
square foot Centre for Innovation in Medical Education, CIME, at Aga Khan
University’s University Centre in Nairobi on June 11.
The Centre is the University’s second simulation-based education
centre and will build on the success of the CIME in Karachi which was
inaugurated in 2017. In January 2020, CIME in Karachi became South Asia’s
first simulation-based educational institution to be accredited by the
US-based Society for Simulation in Healthcare, SSIH, demonstrating that it
met the highest standards in simulation-based education.

Clinical Simulation Leadership Programme
The first Clinical Simulation Leadership Programme was delivered
in CIME, by the CIME team to a select group on March 8-9. This was in
response to demand within our network, as we are recognised leaders within
Pakistan. Participants included university and hospital strategic decision
makers and the course was constructed to inform their thinking on the
planning, designing and operating of new healthcare simulation centres that
are springing up around the country. Ten leaders from four organisations
participated in this programme: The University of Lahore, Pakistan Air Force,
Dow University and Deneb Corporation.
