For nearly a decade, there was no higher educational institution that would produce qualified nurses and laboratory technician professionals. A large number of qualified Somali educators and professionals have either became the victims of the civil war or fled from the country in search of better livelihood and security. In response to this need, a group of Somali educators, after analyzing of the situation, has decided to open this university. In this regard, they have established (JUBBA UNIVERSITY OF SOMALIA) in August 2010. Jubba University of Somalia sees teamwork on every college program as the key success element and is responsible for creating this environment.
