Abstract

Results: While most participants acknowledged UGHE as an educational institution focusing on the delivery of medical care within rural and vulnerable settings and expressed pride, they also perceived UGHE as a foreign and expensive institution and were uncertain of financial implications. Those displaced by campus construction also felt exploited. Participants did not have accurate information about the university and generally welcome more interactions.
