Kitchener School of Medicine

Kitchener School of Medicine, located in Khartoum, Sudan, was opened in the year 1924 by Sir Lee Stack, Governor General of Sudan and Sirdar (General) of the Egyptian army in memory of Lord H. Kitchener, the Governor General of Sudan from the year 1898 to 1900. It was founded with funds raised from the public, mostly from the United Kingdom. Yearly running costs were financed by endowments and by Sudan government subsidies. The initial intake of students in 1924 was seven.

Students transferred from the Gordon Memorial College School of Science to the Kitchener School and studied for six years (after 1939 - before that it had been four years) before taking their final examinations. The school's diploma was recognised by the Royal College of Physicians of London, UK and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, UK.

Kitchener School of Medicine joined Khartoum University College in September of the year 1951. After the Independence in 1956, the University College became the University of Khartoum, the Kitchener School of Medicine became the Faculty of Medicine and students started graduating with an M.B.B.S. degree. In 2012 the annual intake of new students into the Faculty of Medicine was about 350 and there were about 201 full-time staff plus many part-time staff.

The Faculty of Medicine offers both post-graduate and under-graduate studies.
