Since its inception, the UQU College of Medicine shoulders a noble and honorable message, aiming to graduate skillful physicians that provide the best medical care to the Saudi community. This is achieved by harnessing all potentials and capabilities to ensure the provision of high quality education, in line with the directions and aspirations of the college and in light of the UQU's endeavors to fulfill the Saudi Vision 2030. In such a way, Saudi Arabia's universities will be among the top universities in world rankings.

Umm Al-Qura University is one of Saudi Arabia's leading universities in medical education, as evident in the continuous development it has undergone since its establishment.

With the college's adoption of the updated curricula, and in collaboration with the University of London (UCL), learning methods have remarkably evolved and diversified to keep up with the evolution of the educational process in the world.

The Department of Medical Parasitology seeks to provide high quality education, and ensure that the output is in line with the labor market requirements. This is for the benefit of the students at the College of Medicine and other health colleges in Makkah, as well as the seekers of knowledge in the field of medical parasitology.

The department contributes to the service of the Saudi community and pilgrims through its commendable health awareness raising efforts and scientific research, thanks to its great research laboratories and elite faculty members who have distinguished academic and research skills.

The department is also keen to provide great opportunities for students to participate actively in scientific and field research, which is positively reflected on the students' academic achievement and professional future.

Through its website, the department exerts its best efforts to provide its visitors with all the information related to the department, and help them keep abreast of new updates in the field of parasitology.

We implore Allah to guide us to do the best for our people and country, help us shoulder the great responsibility entrusted to us, achieve our hopes and aspirations, and advance the educational process in our beloved College.

Verily, Allah is the One Who knows the intention behind our deeds.
