Two health professionals from Vanuatu that studied at Divine Word University have left with very positive impressions of the campus and Madang Province.

Port Vila-based nursing educator, Adel Tamata and Santo-based midwife, Jenny Matlock spoke highly of DWU and Madang as they departed for Vanuatu on Thursday, 22nd October this year.

Ms Tamata enrolled in the Diploma in Teaching course while Ms Matlock took up the Diploma in Management course administered by the Faculty of Flexible Learning (FFL).

Their studies were sponsored by the French Agency for Development through the Vanuatu Ministry of Health and they were the third batch to come to DWU through the program.

The two outgoing students said the DWU courses and the delivery met their requirements while the environment at the university ensured they studied well.

The two nurses commended the tremendous support they received from the staff of the FFL and DWU in general.

Ms Tamata and Ms Matlock said before they came to PNG for studies earlier this year, they were warned of crime but they found things to be different in Madang.

The two nurses said since their arrival for studies in February, they have not been victims of crime. On the contrary they enjoyed the company of staff and students of DWU and the public of Madang.

Ms Tamata and Ms Matlock said if they had a chance to return for studies, they will not hesitate to come back to DWU.
