ALGIERS- During his visit to Djelfa on Sunday, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune inaugurated an annex of the Faculty of Medicine belonging to the University of Algiers 1 within the local university.

The medicine annex in Djelfa, which opened for the 2023-2024 academic year, has enrolled 188 students who are all recent high school graduates with honors.

The introduction of the medicine specialty at Ziane Achour University is a response to the local population’s demands and is in line with President Tebboune’s commitments.

In addition to the medicine program, the University of Djelfa has also launched a veterinary sciences training course.

This initiative is particularly beneficial for Djelfa, known for its agricultural operations and boasting a livestock population of over four million sheep.
