Kulliyyah of Medicine at International Islamic University Malaysia is a publicly funded medical institution located in Kuantan, Pahang. [1]

The long-term strategic plan of the Kulliyyah of Medicine [ broken anchor ] includes the establishment of teaching hospital with its operations guided by Islamic principles.

The undergraduate medical course is currently undertaken at the Kuantan campus, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Hospital Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, and Hospital Pekan. These hospitals are located in Pahang and are used for teaching during the clinical phase of the course. An agreement formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) in 1997 facilitates the use of these hospitals for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.

Kulliyyah of Medicine has over 120 full-time qualified academic staff. They are recognised as specialists and sub-specialists in some clinical specialities nationally. The current infrastructure in terms of hospitals and healthcare facilities are inadequate to support this expansion and therefore there is a need for a hospital for the Kulliyyah for which IIUM [ broken anchor ] Hospital is envisaged to fill in the gap.

Kulliyyah of Medicine has now expanded into postgraduate activities. There are Master's and PhD programmes in basic medical sciences and in clinical postgraduate programmes supervised by the conjoint boards of each speciality. The basic requirements for clinical postgraduate programmes are the existence of adequate infrastructure of sufficient standard and the clinical expertise that will run the course. The latter requires the existence of a sufficient number of experienced clinicians to supervise the students during the training. The provision of the necessary infrastructure and the need for expansion of the teaching staff require Kulliyyah to acquire its own teaching hospital and therefore IIUM Hospital will be required to bridge this gap.

Kulliyyah of Medicine is located in Pahang with a population of nearly 1.6 million people. This region houses many expatriates and local professionals in the petrochemical and automotive industries and this represents a specific need for medical expertise. A tertiary teaching hospital is needed to serve this area with the various needs of the population. IIUM [ broken anchor ] Hospital will serve this need and be a centre of excellence. This will be in line with the national plan to develop ECER and SEZ within the Pahang and southern Terengganu region.

Kulliyyah of Medicine uses Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) in Pahang as the main teaching hospital. The total number of beds in the nine government hospitals in the state is 1,585, 8 private hospitals with 143 beds and 1 estate hospital with 10 beds. The bed-to-population ratio for Pahang is 1:773, with the ratio in Terengganu at 1:837. For comparison, the ratio in Klang Valley is 1:232, Penang 1:349, Johor 1:473 and the national average is 1:496. The WHO recommended average is 1:400 and there is a need to increase the number of beds for the people in this region.

Kulliyyah of Medicine in Kuantan uses HTAA as the main teaching hospital for the university. HTAA is a service hospital with basic teaching facilities. HTAA is also used by other Kulliyyahs as well as by local private learning institutions for nursing, allied health science and pharmacy students. [2]

Pahang, officially Pahang Darul Makmur with the Arabic honorific Darul Makmur is a sultanate and a federal state of Malaysia. It is the third largest state in the country and the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia, and the ninth most populous. The state occupies the basin of the Pahang River, and a stretch of the east coast as far south as Endau. The state borders the Malaysian states of Kelantan and Terengganu to the north, Perak, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan to the west and Johor to the south, with the South China Sea is to the east. Pahang is separated from the west coast states by the Titiwangsa Mountains that forms a natural divider between the peninsula's east and west coasts from north to south, and from Terengganu in the east by the Pantai Timur Range. The state's highest elevation culminates at Mount Tahan in the eponymous Tahan Range, which is 2,187 metres (7,175 ft) high. Although two thirds of the state is covered by dense rain forest, its central plains are intersected by numerous rivers, and along the coast there is a 32-kilometre (20 mi) wide expanse of alluvial soil that includes the deltas and estuarine plains of the Kuantan, Pahang, Rompin, Endau, and Mersing Rivers.

A Doctor of Medicine is a medical degree, the meaning of which varies between different jurisdictions. In the United States, and some other countries, the M.D. denotes a professional degree. This generally arose because many in 18th-century medical professions trained in Scotland, which used the M.D. degree nomenclature. In England, however, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.B.S.) was used: in the 19th century, it became the standard in Scotland too. Thus, in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other countries, the M.D. is a research doctorate, honorary doctorate or applied clinical degree restricted to those who already hold a professional degree (Bachelor's/Master's/Doctoral) in medicine. In those countries, the equivalent professional degree to the North American, and some others' usage of M.D. is still typically titled Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery.
