Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) is a public university in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences is a successor to the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), which was a constituent college of the University of Dar es Salaam.
MUCHS was established by an Act of Parliament, Act No. 9 of 1991, when
the then Faculty of Medicine was upgraded to a college. The Faculty of
Medicine originated from the Dar es Salaam School of Medicine, which was
established in 1963 by the Ministry of Health with the primary aim of
training clinical health staff. In 1968, the Dar es Salaam School of
Medicine was upgraded to a Faculty of Medicine of the Dar es Salaam
University College of the University of East Africa. In 1976 the Faculty
of Medicine was incorporated into Muhimbili Hospital to form the
Muhimbili Medical Centre (MMC).
In 1991, the Faculty of Medicine was upgraded to a constituent
college of the University of Dar es Salaam, with the aim of nurturing it
to a full-fledged university. In 2000 the Government by Act of
Parliament disestablished MMC and created two closely linked but
autonomous public institutions: MUCHS and the Muhimbili National
Hospital (MNH). Over the years MUCHS made significant achievements in
increased student enrollment and development of several new academic
programmes. The Parliament Act No. 9 of 1991 that established MUCHS was
repealed in 2005. In 2007, MUHAS was established by Article 1 of the
Charter of Incorporation, in line with the recommendations of the
Tanzania Commission of Universities.
