The Federal University of Allied Health Sciences, Enugu (FUAHSE) is a specialized federal university established to provide education and research in allied health and medical sciences. The institution was created by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2023 as part of efforts to strengthen healthcare education and expand training opportunities for health professionals in the country.

The university evolved from the Federal College of Dental Technology and Therapy, Enugu, a long-standing institution that trained dental technologists, dental therapists, and other allied health professionals. The upgrade to a federal university allowed the institution to expand its academic scope to include a broader range of health science programmes while maintaining its strong foundation in dental and allied health education.

FUAHSE is expected to play a major role in training skilled healthcare professionals who will contribute to Nigeria’s healthcare system, medical research, and public health development.
