Government through the Ministry of Education has approved a request by Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS) to adjust upwards school fees for its generic undergraduate students to K1 million per academic year, up from K550,000 and K400,000.

On October 30,2023, KUHeS requested the Government to consider its decision of raising the annual school fees for its undergraduate students over economic challenges the institution is facing.

Meanwhile, Principal Secretary for Education, Chikondano Mussa, in a statement says the university should mention what it takes to train each student per year when communicating the development to various stakeholders.

In 2010,the school’s fees for generic undergraduate students was at K25, 000 and majority of the students were on government loans.
