Comprehensive and accessible healthcare for students, staff and other members of the Anchor University community: preventive, promotive, curative and basic rehabilitative care.

About the Health Centre

The Anchor University Health Services (AUHS) is the healthcare facility established to provide comprehensive and accessible healthcare services to students, staff, and other members of the Anchor University community.

The Health Centre was conceived and established as an integral part of the University from its inception, reflecting the University's commitment to the physical, mental, and general well-being of its community. It serves as the University's primary healthcare facility and provides preventive, promotive, curative, and basic rehabilitative healthcare services.

Although the Health Centre was established alongside the University, its clinical operations commenced on 1 February 2017. The Centre has since continued to develop its services and administrative structures in response to the changing healthcare needs of the University population.

The Health Centre operates with relevant healthcare professionals and support staff and provides consultation, treatment of common illnesses and minor ailments, health education, preventive healthcare, first aid and emergency care, health screening, medical documentation, referral services, and other appropriate healthcare services.

It is committed to maintaining appropriate standards of healthcare delivery while supporting the University's broader vision of producing individuals who are academically excellent, morally sound, and socially responsible.

Mandatory for new students and staff

Medical Registration & Clearance

Every newly admitted student and newly hired staff member must undergo a mandatory medical registration and clearance process at the University Health Centre. This process ensures you are medically fit for campus life, protects the university community from infectious diseases, and establishes your official clinical record for future medical care.

Core clearance requirements

  1. 1
    Diagnostic screenings

    Completion of mandatory laboratory tests at the main clinic.

  2. 2
    Clinical examination

    A comprehensive physical assessment conducted by an authorised university medical officer to evaluate overall fitness.

  3. 3
    Mandatory indemnity consent

    Before undergoing the required Drug of Abuse screening, all students are legally required to fill out and sign an Indemnity Form. This serves as your official consent for sample collection, testing, and the secure processing of laboratory results.

Mandatory laboratory tests

  • Genotype
  • Blood Group
  • Chest X-ray
  • Urinalysis
  • Packed Cell Volume (PCV)
  • HBsAg (Hepatitis B)
  • HCV (Hepatitis C)
  • VDRL (Syphilis)
  • HIV
  • Drug of Abuse test
  • Pregnancy test

Crucial timeline & penalties

Strict deadline

The entire medical clearance process must be completed within 2 weeks of resumption.

Registration & matriculation

Failure to complete this screening within the two-week window will debar a student from completing registration. Non-compliant students will not be issued an official matriculation number.

Graduation

Leaving this screening uncompleted blocks your final clearance at graduation.

Health Screening & Early Detection

Many health conditions may remain unnoticed until complications develop. Anchor University Health Services therefore promotes appropriate screening and early identification of health risks through activities such as:

Our messageEarly detection can change the story.

Mental Health & Wellbeing Support

A healthy university community must care for both the body and the mind. Our goal is to encourage an environment where seeking help is viewed as responsible health behaviour, not weakness.

We promote conversations around:

  • Stress management

  • Burnout
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Anxiety and psychological distress
  • Healthy relationships
  • Coping strategies
  • Help-seeking behaviour
  • Substance misuse

Health Education & Wellness Programme

Promoting healthy lives. Preventing disease. Building a healthier university community.

At Anchor University Health Services, we believe that healthcare should not begin only when illness occurs. It should begin with knowledge. It should continue with prevention. It should be strengthened by healthy choices. And it should ultimately produce a healthier, stronger and more productive university community.

Our Health Education and Wellness Programme is a proactive university-wide initiative designed to empower students, academic staff, non-teaching staff and other members of the university community with the knowledge, skills and support needed to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing.

We are committed to moving beyond a “treat-and-go” approach to healthcare by building a culture in which prevention, early detection, healthy living, responsible medicine use, mental wellbeing and timely access to professional care become part of everyday university life.
