PAPRSB IHS Celebrates International Biomedical Laboratory Science Day The Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa’datul Bolkiah (PAPRSB) Institute of Health Sciences Since its inauguration in September 2000, UBD’s PAP Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Institute of Health Sciences (PAPRSB IHS) has expanded beyond solely providing medical training. Graduate programmes such as Mas-ter of Medicine, Master of Public Health, and Masters and PhD by Research as well as undergraduate programmes across six main disci-plines – Medicine, Biomedical Scienc-es, Nursing, Midwifery, Pharmacy and Dentistry are now offered. We ensure the Institute remains relevant and sensitive to the rapidly changing needs of the country. Our pro-grammes are products of a continu-ous review of our curricula, and indeed, all our undergraduate pro-grammes have undergone major enhancements and are now also designed to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and for stu-dents to assume leadership roles, tempered with a keen awareness of the environment.
