Message from the Director
Since its establishment, Majmaah University (MU) has consistently aimed to strike a balance between two priorities: benefiting from national-level support for development and maintaining a high standard of innovation in its programs. Achieving this balance has guided MU in carefully selecting initiatives that primarily serve national development goals.
In line with this vision, MU established the International Center for Rehabilitation, Prosthetics, and Orthotics. The Center was created to enhance students’ skills in the field, promote public awareness, support research, and contribute to various developmental efforts. It stands as a model of successful collaboration between public, private, and non-profit sectors—a partnership made possible by the university’s strong leadership and strategic foresight.
As we celebrate the launch of the Center, we extend sincere thanks to MU Rector Dr. Khalid Al-Mugren for his unwavering support of the university’s development initiatives. Our gratitude also goes to the Ibrahim Al-Sultan Charitable Institution and Enayah Company for their vital contributions to the Center’s establishment. We also acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the Center’s team and the various university departments that played a key role during its development phase.
