Visitors should ask at reception because the campus covers several buildings and different areas for students, patients, and companions. Anyone with an appointment should allow time for waiting and registration, as many people visit the facility every day.
The campus houses laboratories for medical research where scientists work on solutions for diseases common in the region. Students often take part in these research projects and learn alongside regular classes.
