About Us
Committed to providing affordable, accessible and quality healthcare to our members and their dependents.
Who We Are
The University of Malawi Medical Scheme (UNIMED) was formed in June 2009 to provide affordable healthcare finance for the healthcare needs of staff of the former University of Malawi (UNIMA), and their dependents and all bonafide students.
Currently, after the delinking of UNIMA, UNIMED serves the new University of Malawi (UNIMA), Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS), Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR).
The Scheme is an in-house arrangement allowing members more flexibility and better benefit options. It maintains strong relationships with Service Providers, ensuring members have 24-hour access to medical treatment.
