Middle East University is well aware of the significant role that health plays in a student’s educational journey. MEU therefore opened its Healthcare Department in 2005 as soon as the University first opened its doors to students in order to fulfill MEU’s aim of providing its students and faculty members with the necessary access to comprehensive healthcare services.

Located in Building B, the Healthcare Department is equipped with a reception room, a pharmacy, and a number of treatment and examination rooms stocked with the latest medical equipment. In combination with the Departments’ cooperative network of hospitals and specialist doctors, MEU’s Healthcare Department fulfills its responsibility towards MEU students and provides them with the healthcare they need.
