The University College of Health Sciences (UNICOHS) is a relatively young privately owned tertiary institution founded in 2013. Its formation was initially inspired by the quest to find solutions to health problems that have affected our communities through training a cadre of personnel with excellent academic professionalism and moral values. Thus, the formation of the institution was guided by the impetus to initiate and implement decisions that can alleviate human suffering through education.

The UNICOHS became operational in August 2013 with eight students enrolled for the Environmental Health Technology program under the name of “Zambian School of Community Health Sciences and Health Care Assistants”. Being cognizant of the fact that societal problems are dynamic, UNICOHS management is committed to growing the institution into a highly reputable young university. Therefore, the UNICOHS management is ready to tackle societal and global challenges by being alert to the dynamism of knowledge and timely in implementing study programmers that will mitigate the challenges.
