St. Luke School of Medicine

Liberia March 16, 2005.

It has been gathered that an entity accredited by the Government of Liberia to run as Medical College has already issued degrees to individuals without running classes.
According to investigation, the St. Luke School of Medicine said to be located in Gaye Town, Sinkor, was accredited by an Act of the National Legislature to run as a medical college. But report said the school has not officially begun classes, but has already gone go-ahead issuing diplomas to some so-called graduates.

Investigation revealed that the existence of the school as a degree granting institution came to light recently when some students in Asia called the India Consul to verify the existence of the school, which has been issuing degrees.

The sources said the school was targeting students in Asia because most of the people in that part of the world want to be doctors, but can not afford the cost of acquiring such education and degree there, and have therefore decided to use the on-line program to get their "documents" since they believed that the St. Luke School of Medicine was operating in Liberia.

It was also said that the school has an affiliation with the University of Liberia, but this was denied by Dr. Al Hasan Conteh, president of the university when he was approached on the issue yesterday.
