Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu

The Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu (FUAHSE) is a federal university located on Dental Avenue, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu, in Enugu State. It was established on 14 March 2024 to improve healthcare manpower in Nigeria, and it grew out of the former Federal College of Dental Technology and Therapy, moving from a single-discipline college (monotechnic) into a university of six faculties and 17 departments and programmes. Its founding rationale is the national need for skilled manpower in allied health sciences, the continuing loss of trained health workers abroad, and the changing nature of healthcare delivery worldwide. The university is intended to train innovative, skilled and proactive professionals in allied health sciences and technology.

Academic work is organised into faculties that include Basic Medical Sciences, Dental Health, Health Engineering and Technology, Healthcare Management and Leadership, Healthcare Services and Rehabilitative Health. Basic Medical Sciences covers biochemistry, biotechnology, human anatomy, microbiology, parasitology and entomology, and physiology. Dental Health comprises dental technology and dental therapy. Health Engineering and Technology brings together artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics engineering and software engineering.

Healthcare Management and Leadership offers healthcare management, health information management and social work. Healthcare Services includes community health, nursing sciences, public health, radiography, complementary and alternative medicine, water, sanitation and hygiene, and medical laboratory sciences. Rehabilitative Health includes occupational therapy, physiotherapy, prosthetics and orthotics, and speech therapy.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Emaimo, describes the university's direction as smart healthcare, with academic and professional activities aligned to the digital era and a commitment to Outcome Based Education, which aims to equip graduates with knowledge, skills and values for practice. Principal officers include the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Cajetan U. Nwadinigwe, the Registrar, Barr. (Dr.) Chris C. Igbokwe, the Bursar, Mrs. Felicia N. Egbeh, and the Librarian, Dr. Ifeanyi Jonas Ezema.

Student services include an online student portal for updating biodata, paying fees, registering for courses, processing hostel accommodation and printing payment receipts; an e-library of e-books, e-journals and databases for students and staff; learning-management systems for undergraduate and postgraduate students; and on-premises hostel facilities for students. The Centre for Entrepreneurship Development runs training for students, including a three-day programme on scaling micro, small and medium enterprises for 100-level female students on 17 to 19 July 2025. The university's main auditorium hosted the 2nd International Conference on Arts, Health Science, Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Systems (AHiAISE), scheduled for 22 to 23 July 2026. The university also takes part in the Federal Ministry of Education's Diaspora BRIDGE research initiative.
