BUIB - Biaka University Institute of Buea

In 1998 St. Francis School of Nursing and Midwifery was opened as a training school for nurses and in the same year Dr. Biaka was awarded Fellowship by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of England.The growing complex saw continuous growth and expansion with the opening of St. Francis Higher Institute of Nursing and Midwifery in 2007 and St. Francis School of Health Sciences in 2010. St. Francis School of Health Sciences was upgraded to the St. Francis Advanced School of Health Sciences. Today, a legacy and dream come true has been touched with the hopes of the best is yet to come.
The St. Francis Schools have been upgraded by Ministerial circular No: 16- 01806/L/MINESUP/DDES/ESUP/SDA/OPC of February 26th, 2016, To BIAKA UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF BUEA (BUIB) to as the second University Institute in Buea. All mentored by the University of Buea (UB). This upgrade gave BUIB the onus to run three schools–Health Sciences (her mother entity), Education and Management Sciences. Courses run from HND to Bachelors in the various schools beginning from the2016/2017 Academic year. Presently, Biaka oversees a rapidly expanding complex which receives at least 1500 students each year in different health profession programmes as well as meeting the needs of patients with different conditions at the St. Veronica Polyclinic.
