Blantyre Campus

Excellence in Health Sciences Education in Malawi's Commercial Hub

The Blantyre Campus of Malawi College of Health Sciences originated from the Medical Assistants Training School (MATS) which became operational in the 1960s. The campus is strategically located in Malawi's commercial capital, providing health sciences education to students from the southern region and beyond.

The current campus structure was built in 1996 with funding from the African Development Bank (ADB), featuring modern facilities that support comprehensive health sciences education.
