Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting the White Coat Ceremony 2025 a proud and symbolic tradition that welcomed our 1st and 4th-year medical students into the next phase of their medical journey.

The white coat represents more than just attire it is a promise of service, compassion, responsibility, and ethical care. Witnessing our students step into this commitment was a truly inspiring moment.
