The Department of Special Care Nursing is committed to supporting Kulliyyah's goal of producing nurses with advanced knowledge in FIVE (5) different disciplines (community, maternal-newborn, and women's health, child health, mental health, and gerontology nursing). In order to achieve IIUM's mission, the department also promotes research activities in various disciplines (as previously mentioned). Since the department's inception in 2013, we have recruited and sent 12 nursing lecturers for specialisation in midwifery, child health, mental health, gerontology, and community health. We currently have nine lecturers (all with PhDs) teaching nursing courses and supervising postgraduate students; as a result, masters degrees by research and doctoral degrees in nursing with specialisation in these five areas are available. Having said that, the department is currently preparing for a Master of Nursing in specialisation areas (Midwifery, mental health, and so on), which is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal for quality education and promotes lifelong learning among nurses, and thus provides a pathway for quality of healthcare services in the Ummah.
