# The Auditor-General has flagged a two-billion-rand collaboration between South Africa and Cuba, Project Thusano, for poor outcomes. The project aimed to train 108 students in medical professions. However, the programme’s qualifications are reportedly not accredited in South Africa, leaving students jobless. According to News24, only 28.57-percent of the first cohort passed their integration course, and bio-medical engineering graduates cannot register locally. Recommendations include accreditation reviews and collaboration with the Department of Health to ensure training value.
