Following the recent addition of Morocco’s private architectural school, École d’Architecture de Casablanca (EAC), Upsat represents the 10th institution in the Honoris network, which now has over 32,000 students across the continent. The group reinforces Honoris’ footprint in the cities of Sousse and Sfax. The group also brings to the Honoris network qualifications across a wide spectrum of health sciences.
The newly built Medical Simulation Centre by Honoris United Universities in Tunisia was developed in coordination with international experts, using advanced technologies to create a 2500m² site in the heart of Tunis.
The centre is equipped with four simulation types. These include advanced mannequin technologies in a hospital setting, scenario-based simulations, actor-based simulations, and cutting-edge virtual reality technologies. These are sophisticated forms of simulation that present real-life scenarios to students through VR headsets. This technology will bring real-time complex scenarios to the centre, like hazardous spills or traumatic events.
The new centre will also, in the medium term, be available to external healthcare workers, surgical teams, practising nurses, and researchers. The centre will be managed by a newly appointed director, professor Chedly Drizi, a managing director, a surgeon, and a former head of the B23 Surgery Department at the Charles Nicole Hospital in Tunis.
