History
Kitchener School of Medicine
The school was founded with funds raised from the public, mostly from the United Kingdom. Yearly running costs were financed by endowments and by Sudan government subsidies. The initial intake of students in 1924 was seven.[2][3]
Students transferred from Gordon Memorial College's School of Science to the Kitchener School and studied for six years from 1939 onwards,[4] before taking their final examinations to earn Diploma of Kitchener School of Medicine (DKSM).[5] The school's diploma was recognised by the Royal College of Physicians of London, UK and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, UK. Kitchener School of Medicine joined Khartoum University College in September 1951.[2]
