قرارٌ عمره أكثر من 20 عامًا… وكلماتٌ تكشف كيف كان يُنظر الأستاذ الدكتور مزاحم الخياط رئيس الجامعة السابق إلى مستقبل طب نينوى ومدينة الموصل
This section recounts one of the early milestones in the college’s history: an academic decision made by Professor Dr. Muzahim Al-Khayyat in its early days, aimed at ensuring that the Nineveh College of Medicine would attract its share of talented faculty and top students, thereby laying a strong foundation for its academic staff.
Despite the importance of what was said about the past, what matters most is what was said at the end of the discussion regarding the future of the Nineveh College of Medicine and the role it can play in the future of the city of Mosul itself.
This vision transcends the boundaries of a single college, placing it within the broader context of a leading university and medical city in Iraq.
