Mission
To provide leadership in pursuit and dissemination of knowledge in Anatomical and Physiological Sciences.
Vision
To be a world-class Institute of Anatomy and Physiology, providing qualitative knowledge in Anatomy and Physiology to those who rightfully seek it and conducting world-class research in these fields. Anatomy and Physiology are the cornerstones of a healthy functioning body and the starting point of many health-related professions and we endeavor to give the students a solid base in these disciplines. In addition, our aspirations are to provide services related to Anatomy and Physiology such taxidermy, preparation of specimens for laboratories, schools, and institutions of higher learning.
