For easier access to medical services, students at CUHAS are now enrolled into a
medical insurance programme (with NHIF) at the beginning of the academic year.
This is facilitated by the office of the Dean of Students. Students who have private
health insurance coverage can come with their cards and ensure that they show proof
of such cover to the Dean.

Spiritual Life
CUHAS as a Catholic University promotes Catholic values in principal and espouses to
instill moral and ethical values to the students training here. However, the university
also respects the religious freedom of individuals within the CUHAS community, which is
why there is a thoughtful support for religious associations on Campus.
Worship Space: The BMC premises has a Chapel ‘St. Martin De Porres’ in which
regular masses are held. Due to limited space within Campus, students have been allowed
to utilize a few designated informal space to congregate for worship. However, there are
several denomination churches and mosques within the Bugando vicinity, where students
are encouraged to attend on designated days.
Chaplaincy: The university and hospital run a joint Chaplaincy which oversees the
spiritual services for students, staff, patients and visitors. This office is open to
people from all religious backgrounds. The office is located outside the Chapel.
Counselling: The university cares deeply about the holistic wellbeing of each
individual, hence ensuring that there is access to counselling services on campus.
Counselling services are available through the Chaplaincy. Those in need of counselling
on any matter including study, home, family, work related issues will find that the
services are offered in professional manner and in a friendly environment. Close
follow-up is made, for those who need it and it is available for as long as necessary.
