The organization, coordination and management of research and research-related resources are critical components of academia. The Kamuzu University of Health Sciences Research Support Centre (KUHeS-RSC) was established in 2006 to provide administrative support for research activities and further stimulate research enterprise culture in the university to KUHeS faculty members, students as well as research affiliates and collaborators. 

Since its inception, the KUHeS-RSC has assumed a more significant and central role in coordinating and supporting research.

  • Conducting research-relevant training activities
