The Medical Humanities project at MUST on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 launched its first "Munda Hub" session at the university's Thyolo campus herbal garden.

The event, held under the theme of "Eco-Conscious Living: Cultivating Green Health for a Better Tomorrow," aimed to sensitize participants on the importance of utilizing science to revive the environment for medical purposes.

The event started with a guided tour of the herbal garden, led by Andrew Kapombeza (IKSP student) and Mr. Chilomo (Custodian) which showcased the different medicinal plants and herbs grown in the garden.

Two students, Chimwemwe Mlauzi and Dean Chilewani, delivered presentations on the interconnectedness of nature and human well-being.

Chimwemwe's exhibition was conducted with the aid of a painting made by him, highlighting how caring for nature can foster development in health and well-being.

On the other hand, Dean's presentation emphasized the vital role humans play in promoting green health.

Dr Atikonda Mtenje Mkochi, BISCH executive dean, led a herbal tea tasting session.

The event concluded with a herbal planting exercise, where attendees planted different herbs.

The "Munda Hub" launch marks an important step towards promoting eco-conscious living and green health practices within the MUST community.

Malawi Medical Humanities Network 's mission is to enhance people's understanding of the human condition by exploring how the health sciences, illness and medicine intersect with the arts and humanities in the country.
