In his opening speech Dr. Walhad appreciated the gesture by Prof. Suleiman to hold a celebratory event in honor of the excellent achievement made by the College of Health Sciences. He thanked all deans of various Schools of the College of Health Sciences of whom most of have been with ACHS since inception of their various schools and had initially to sacrifice lucrative positions elsewhere in Canada, London United Kingdom, and Middle East to come and set camp in Amoud University 10 years or more ago when they did not know whether such sacrifice would pay dividends or not. He appreciated their selflessness, dedication and work ethic together with their various teams and noted that without their input, ACHS would not have made those strides to emerge top of the table in Somaliland as a whole. In addition, Dr. Walhad acknowledged the impact of ACHS in the lives of Somali people from all over horn of Africa region having produced medial experts who are now serving or are going to serve in future in such areas as Somaliland, Somalia and beyond. Everywhere, he said, there are graduates of Amoud University doing what they know how to do best and that is being good medical practitioners.

Dr. Walhad praised the partner institutions especially Kings College London who have helped establish Masters degree in Family Medicine, a programme that has further enhanced the profile of ACHS together with Amoud School of Postgraduate Studies and Research which introduced Master of Public Health and Nutrition that have also further added profile to the graduates of ACHS as they give options for upward progression. He emphasized that ACHS focuses on producing experts with the right Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP). Lastly Dr. Walhad highlighted the importance of ACHS team and urged all members of staff to continue doing their best even in their quest to leave a lasting impact on the local community as they have done before through Community Outreach. He said he is very proud of his students at ACHS who voluntarily donate out of their own pockets a small sum of money to dedicate to the local community, this amount being subsidized by Amoud University and then used in purchase of medical supplies to the visited areas, a fact that has made ACHS to touch the lives of almost every member of the community in Somaliland.

Prof. Suleiman started his speech by thanking Mr. Ahmed Murud DG, Somaliland Ministry of Education and Higher Studies for finding some time out of his very busy schedule so as to join Amoud fraternity in recognizing the good work done by ACHS and celebrating the big achievement of being Position 1 medical institution in the whole of Somaliland. He said that he was very much elated with the news and that this certainly conforms Amoud University's rightful place in Academic sphere of Somaliland as not only the oldest and most prestigious university in Somaliland but also a centre for excellence in education and scholarship in the horn of Africa. The president emphasized that this is no mean feat considering the level of assessment and calibre of international experts who were involved in the evaluation process thereby ensuring no bias in analysis of all parameters set during their assessment of every institution. The president also took time to congratulate other institutions that performed well such as University of Hargeisa, University of Burco and Edna Adan University and for posting good results in the same assessment. Furthermore he urged Dr. Walhad and his team to work even harder and smarter because "as he famously says, "Whatever way you are doing things, there is always a better way of doing things", and therefore all must continue to strive for perfection, always.

In conclusion, he expressed concern on the very low performance of most other institutions offering medical courses in Somaliland. He decried lack of accountability of such institutions and emphasized that the concerned parties must as a matter of urgency step in and ensure that institutions authorized or accredited to offer such courses must as a matter of necessity follow and maintain the bare minimum benchmark requirements as per set international standards. He urged relevant bodies to take action on mediocre institutions that may bring disrepute to the honorable field of education or teaching in higher level institutions before they impact negatively on future of the aspiring graduates and Somaliland.
