Holy Family College of Health Sciences proudly held its 2025 graduation ceremony on Friday, June 6, at its main campus in Phalombe District, marking a significant milestone in the institution’s mission to contribute to Malawi’s healthcare workforce.

The event brought together graduates, parents, government officials, healthcare stakeholders, and the general public in a celebration of academic excellence, resilience, and service. Two hundred and eighteen students were awarded diplomas and certificates in Pharmacy and Nursing and Midwifery programs.

Speaking during the ceremony, the Principal of the College, Mrs. Nancy Kamwendo, commended the graduates for their dedication and hard work. “Today is not only a personal triumph for our students but also a national achievement. These graduates are entering a sector that desperately needs qualified, ethical, and compassionate professionals,” she said.

The guest of honor, Rev. Fr. Dr. George Buleya, emphasized the important role Holy Family College continues to play in addressing the healthcare gaps in rural and underserved communities. “Graduates from this institution have consistently demonstrated quality and commitment in health service delivery across Malawi. As you go out, remember that you are not just health professionals — you are agents of change.”

The ceremony featured religious dances, awarding of academic excellence prizes, and a symbolic visit to two new classroom blocks that are being built on the campus.

Founded with a mission to provide quality, affordable, and faith-based health sciences education, Holy Family College has grown steadily in both enrollment and infrastructure. The 2025 graduation comes at a time when the college is expanding its academic programs and strengthening partnerships for improved learning and community impact.

Graduates expressed joy and gratitude for their journey. “It’s been a challenging but rewarding experience. I’m proud to be part of an institution that prepares us not just academically, but also morally and professionally,” said one Nursing graduate, Isaac Chinyonga.

As the graduates now transition into the healthcare sector, many are expected to be absorbed by hospitals, clinics, and health projects across Malawi and the region — further cementing the college’s contribution to public health and national development.
