As we begin the year 2026, I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to all faculty members, staff, and especially our international students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS). We deeply appreciate the diversity, cultural exchange, and global perspectives that our international students bring to our academic community, and we take great pride in having you as an integral part of KUMS.
Your dedication, resilience, and active engagement are essential to the university’s academic vitality and international standing. Together with the ongoing support of our esteemed faculty and staff, we look forward to a year filled with academic growth, collaboration, and new opportunities. KUMS remains steadfast in its commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment where international students can thrive academically, professionally, and personally. Our faculty and staff will continue their efforts to advance health, education, clinical practice, and research in ways that benefit both our local and global communities. We also reaffirm the critical role of science in guiding responsible decision-making and public policy.
May the year 2026 bring health, fulfillment, and success to all members of the KUMS family, particularly our international students who have chosen KUMS as their academic home. Together, we will continue to strengthen our achievements and embrace the opportunities ahead.
