St. Luke's College Library

At St. Luke's College of Health Sciences, our library serves as the academic heart of our institution, offering comprehensive resources for nursing and healthcare education. With specialized collections in community health, critical care, and clinical practice, we support both theoretical learning and practical skill development for our students.

Digital Resources for Healthcare Education

Our digital library provides 24/7 access to essential medical journals, e-books, and clinical databases. Students can explore the latest research in nursing practice, access evidence-based care guidelines, and utilize our collection of anatomy and physiology resources. These tools are carefully curated to support our KRCHN, Higher Diploma, and continuing education programs.

"The St. Luke's library transformed my clinical practice - the case studies and medical resources were invaluable to my KRCHN training."
