"To provide a wide range of up‑to‑date teaching, learning and research information in all formats (print and non‑print), that supports the curriculum of all the programs offered by MCHS."

A Word from Our Librarian

Welcome to the MCHS Library! Our mission is to empower your health sciences education with the best resources, technology, and personalised support. Whether you're studying clinical medicine, nursing, pharmacy, or laboratory sciences, our curated collections and expert staff are here to help you succeed.

We offer quiet study areas, collaborative group rooms, and a growing digital library accessible 24/7 from any device. Need help with a research assignment? Our librarians can guide you through database searching, referencing, and evidence-based practice. We also provide workshops on literature searching, citation management, and clinical information tools.

Our doors are always open. Please stop by, ask questions, and make the most of your time at MCHS. Together, let's build a healthier Malawi through knowledge.
