NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) is in the advanced stages of forging a tie-up with Harvard Medical School (HMS) for improving medical education standards in Andhra Pradesh. It will be the first medical university in India to have a tie-up with HMS.
HMS has formally agreed to help medical colleges in the State raise their standards to global levels through team visits and video-conferencing and lend its expertise to upgrade their research component. An HMS delegation will visit the State and sign a Memorandum of Understanding with university.
Meanwhile, NTRUHS has set afloat the process of taking help from New York-based Cornell University for setting up a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) laboratory. The lab will come in handy for the implementation of the Cadaver Transplantation Programme (CTP), also called ‘Jeevandan’, under which tissue-typing and cross-matching are done to ensure compatibility of organs.
NTRUHS Vice-Chancellor Mr. Ravi Raju told The Hindu that both the initiatives (agreements with HMS and Cornell University) were in advanced stages, and that NTRUHS would be one of the few medical universities to strike it big with world renowned institutions.
The HLA laboratory is likely to come up at NTRUHS or at the upcoming Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences.
