| The Ipuli Medical Training Center is the first element in the long-term plan of Ipuli's Rural Center for Excellence, a complex of infrastructures which will help to assure self-sufficiency for this rural community. The Medical Training Center will provide nursing and midwifery training for the future Mother-Child Medical Center.

| Eventually, the remaining parcels around the IMTC site are to be completed with other community-based technical training centers, such as workshops for woodworking or engine repair. The community will thus receive training locally, combating this small village's struggle with "brain-drain" to larger urban centers, and forming a labor pool that can sustain the growth and maintenance of the Mother-Child Medical Center and of the village at large.

Program spaces for the Medical Training Center include: four classrooms for nurse training, three laboratories for hands-on technical experience, a library. teacher offices, archives and support spaces. Running water should be supplied to the laboratory spaces.
The roofs of the complex collect rainwater for year-round sustainability. Renewable energy is provided via a composite system of wind and solar power. (Feasibility studies: Haley & Aldrich / Tamarack Energy)
