“Aging with Dignity”
Antonine University (UA) is pleased to announce the official launch of the Specialized Diploma in Gerontological Nursing, a new academic offering conceived by the Department of Nursing Sciences (DNS).

The day’s proceedings combine academic presentations, expert exchanges, and field-based initiatives, exemplifying the University’s role as a space of knowledge in the service of society.
