Health Tutors’ College Mulago (HTC Mulago) is a health tutor training Institution under Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports. It is affiliated to Makerere University through the College of Education and External Studies (CEES). HTC Mulago trains tutors in all health related disciplines who upon completion of their training, teach in post basic health training Institutions.
The college started in the 1960’s mainly offering diploma in health tutorship in nursing. But, due to the demand in other health disciplines, the college found it necessary to include midwives and other allied health professionals. In 2010, the college upgraded from diploma in health tutorship to Bachelors degree courses.
