In April 1991, the Malawi College of Medicine opened its doors to Malawi medical
students who had undertaken all but the final year of their undergraduate
training in the United Kingdom. The first batch qualified with the MB BS degrees
of the University of Malawi in September 1992. Since then and up to July 1998,
112 doctors have been produced. They are all Malawians, 90 males and 22 females,
29%, 31% and 40% respectively come from the Northern, Central and Southern
regions of Malawi. Seventy-one per cent of the graduates had passed through
Chancellor College, Zomba, and 27% had attended the Kamuzu Academy, Kasunga,
Malawi. So far, most of these graduates have remained in Malawi, working in
various locations in government and mission hospitals and at the University of
Malawi. Many have shown encouraging interest in pursuing postgraduate education.
In September 1994 the epoch of hybridisation was brought to a close with the
admission of the first set of students who will train fully here in Malawi and
become our first batch of home-grown doctors.
