A new chapter has opened for Amref International University (AMIU) as it officially relocates from its Lang’ata campus to its new, state-of-the-art Campus at Northlands, situated just off Thika Road Super Highway. The relocation is not just geographical—it is an attestation of the university’s unwavering determination in its core purpose: developing fit-for-purpose leaders in primary health care.
Right from when students set foot on the spacious campus, the difference is evident. The serene environment, modern architecture, and meticulously planned layout make for a perfect ambiance of learning, innovation, and overall development. The transition has been thrilling and nostalgic for students who had grown accustomed to the Lang’ata setup, but the opinion is unanimous—the campus in Northlands is an upgrade, and a massive one at that.
We’ve been able to catch our students exploring the new campus, from the spacious student residences to the vibrant student center. Their glowing reviews express a deep appreciation for the environment now shaping their learning experience. As one student so aptly put it, “The campus at Northlands is a place that feels like our dreams can become rooted and really grow.”
Faculty members and staff have also embraced the change, quickly adjusting to the rhythm of the new campus. The improved infrastructure has raised their capacity to deliver quality education and mentorship, while proximity to major transport lines has made commuting easier for many. Overall, the sentiment is that the Northlands campus offers new energy, focus, and direction.
By doing so, AMIU took a significant leap toward the fulfillment of its vision to become a world-class African institution of health sciences education. The new campus presents not only the possibility for academic excellence but also for the establishment of a close-knit community and principled leadership.
This is more than an address change or a relocation, it is a rebirth. It is a strong reaffirmation of AMIU’s dedication to Africa: to enhance the future of African health care leadership, with the ability to respond to Africa’s most entrenched health challenges, right from the heart of Northlands.
