Equal Access Policy
At SSMU, we believe that education and healthcare knowledge are universal rights. Our Equal Access Policy is designed to guarantee that every member of the community has the opportunity to benefit from our programs, without discrimination or bias. This policy is applied to all university-led activities, including public lectures, health awareness events, student-led outreach programs, vocational and executive education courses, and community workshops.

We actively promote a culture of respect and equity, where every individual is treated with dignity, regardless of their background. Our policies adhere to national and international human rights standards, promoting a welcoming and diverse learning environment for all.
Accessibility for People with Disabilities
