  • competent in clinical – based health care approach to provide safe curative care to patients who are affected by the illnesses;
  • to manage the environment for clinical care;
  • render tertiary care to enable the patients to make use of the potentials they are left with;
  • render primary care to empower the clients of health services to exercise control over the determinants of health;
