Tun Ling with Prof Sanjeev Sharma and other faculty members
UTAR signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) on 5 December 2016 at Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Signing on behalf of NIA was its Director Prof Sanjeev Sharma, while UTAR was represented by Council Chairman Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik.
Present at the MoU signing were UTAR Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Deputy Dean for R&D and Postgraduate Programmes Prof Dr Yap Sook Fan and Senior Professor Prof Dr Ngeow Yun Fong.
The MoU serves to lay the foundation of the collaboration between the two parties in the aspects of education, training, research, future publications and the popularisation of Ayurvedic medicine in Malaysia. Apart from those, this MoU enables NIA to assist UTAR in founding a department of Ayurveda to teach Bachelor’s and Master Degree programmes for Ayurveda in Malaysia.
Prior to this visit, the UTAR delegation led by Tun Ling participated in the World Ayurveda Congress which was held in Kolkata on 1 December to 4 December 2016.
NIA was established back in 1976 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India.
