Serebour emphasized the need for quality training and the maintenance of standards in the healthcare sector, expressing his dissatisfaction with the creation of new medical schools.

And that for me would ensure that standards are maintained, quality is ensured and even good numbers, and it is also easy and cheap and it’s better than you converting every regional hospital into a teaching hospital or medical school.”
