IIHS partners with Mianz (MI College) Maldives

A pioneering Sri Lankan education institute with 16 years in the field, the International Institute of Health Science (IIHS) becomes one of the higher education institutes in Sri Lanka to export education to the region through its most recent partnership with Mianz (MI College) in Maldives, with a MoU signed recently. 

MI College, headed by CEO Mottaki and Principal Nizam, has 17 learning centres in Maldives with more centres in Bangladesh and Nepal too. With a student strength of 1800, the College is focused on empowering the youth of Maldives. This collaboration will provide greater access to education for students in the 26 atolls of Maldives.
