INTRODUCTION

Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (Muhas) was established in 2022.

The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) is a successor to the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS). MUCHS was established through an Act No 9 of 1991, by upgrading the then Faculty of Medicine. The Faculty of Medicine started as the Dar es Salaam School of Medicine, established in 1963 by the Ministry of Health with the primary aim of training Clinical Officers. In 1968, the School was upgraded to a Faculty of Medicine of the Dar es Salaam University College of the University of East Africa and in 1970 Faculty of Medicine of the University of Dar es Salaam. In 1976 the Faculty of Medicine, academically belonging to the University of Dar es Salaam was administratively incorporated into Muhimbili Hospital to form the Muhimbili Medical Centre (MMC).

The Faculty of Medicine was then upgraded to a constituent College of the University of Dar es Salaam in 1991, with the aim of nurturing it to a full-fledged University. By an Act of Parliament MMC was disestablished in 2000 to create two closely linked but autonomous public institutions; namely MUCHS and the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH). The Parliament Act No 9 of 1991 that established MUCHS was repealed in 2005 in an effort to transform it to MUHAS. Subsequently, in 2007, MUHAS was established in line with the Universities Act No 7 of 2005.

MUHAS has 118 programmes in biomedical, diagnostic, clinical and allied health sciences disciplines which are taught in seven schools and two institutes. Of these, 24 are undergraduate programmes while the rest are postgraduate programmes.
