Our History

Established as a centre of health education

The Faculty of Health Sciences at Muni University was established to respond to a critical shortage of trained healthcare professionals in Uganda's West Nile region and beyond. What began as a small nursing program has grown into a comprehensive health sciences faculty offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

Milestones

  • Founding Years: Launch of the Bachelor of Nursing program with the first cohort of students.
  • Expansion: Introduction of the Bachelor of Midwifery and Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science.
  • Postgraduate Growth: Launch of the Master of Public Health program.
  • Partnerships: Strategic collaborations with hospitals, universities, and international medical groups.
  • Research: Growing portfolio of peer-reviewed research on tropical diseases and community health.

Our Mission Today

We continue to train competent, compassionate, and community-oriented healthcare professionals through excellence in teaching, research, and service. Our graduates serve across Uganda, East Africa, and beyond.

"Excellence in Health Sciences Education Across Africa." — Faculty Motto
