A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER Since the time in 1987 Vignan Educational Foundation of Bangalore, India opened the first private medical university in Tanzania the International Medical and Technological University (IMTU) continued to evolve its operations as a dynamic entrepreneurial organization. Over the past 18 years hundreds of students from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka have graduated from IMTU, and are providing medical, allied health services to citizens in their respective countries across the world. Our vision demonstrates the emphasis we place on the fundamental areas one expect of an institution of higher education should focus namely teaching, research and service to society. With this vision, IMTU is poised to seek greater heights in providing quality higher education to knowledge seekers in Tanzania, and around the world. Our graduates were continually recognized and highly sought by the real world throughout in Tanzania and other parts of the world for their knowledge, skills and preparedness. IMTU will strive to leverage this great foundation and enhance its reach to knowledge seekers by continually building relevant programs, partnerships, and scholarly activities. Though IMTU program offerings are currently focused in healthcare related disciplines we expect to become a broad based university and become a model private university in Tanzania. I welcome you to our intimate picturesque campus near Mbezi beach in. I hope you get to experience the dynamic academic environment along with athletic and social opportunities for interaction during your stay at the university. I wish you well and expect to see great success with your career efforts at IMTU. Sri Katuri Subba Rao, Chairman, VEF & IMTU i
