Victoria School of Nursing and Midwifery has significantly upgraded its training capacity with the acquisition of a range of new anatomical modules, a move leaders say will produce more competent, responsible, and “five-star” healthcare professionals.
Dr. Isaac Orec, the school’s director, confirmed the procurement, explaining that the modules are designed to give nursing and midwifery students hands-on experience before they encounter real patients. The new equipment includes models of the human body, buttock manikins for wound care practice, infant simulators, female breast models, and several other specialised teaching aids.
“These anatomical modules are used to train our student nurses and midwives so that they can become responsible practitioners,” Dr. Orec said. “They allow learners to master the care of wounds, handle babies, and understand the human body in a controlled, repeatable environment.”
Dr. Orec further announced that the institution’s laboratory capacity has increased by 80 percent, a development that will enable the school to admit and effectively train a larger number of students. He took the opportunity to welcome new students to Victoria School of Nursing and Midwifery, while expressing gratitude to the management, students, and parents for their continued support.
Sister Mary Genevieve Jacinta Aber echoed the director’s optimism, stating that the availability of the modules guarantees the graduation of highly skilled professionals. “With these modules available, we will produce good, five-star nurses and midwives, because our students will have enough knowledge and practical exposure,” she said.
Daniel Odongo, a student at the institution, welcomed the addition. “We are already being trained well, but with these anatomical modules we are going to have even more knowledge and confidence,” he noted.
Geoffrey, the Dean of Students, said the practical tools would directly translate into improved clinical competence. “With these modules in place, we expect better clinical skills from our students. They will learn to work on human beings from the practical sessions and will learn a lot before they get to the hospital wards.”
Fellow student Muwanguzi Esther said the procurement had addressed a long-standing challenge. “The challenge we had has now been worked on through the procurement of these modules,” she said, expressing relief that practical gaps in training were being closed.
The investment positions Victoria School of Nursing and Midwifery as a growing hub for practical, skills-based health education, with both students and faculty optimistic about the quality of graduates the institution will now produce.
