MAHSA (Malaysian Allied Health Sciences Academy) was founded in 2004 by Senator Professor Tan Sri Dr. Hj. Mohamed Haniffa, a distinguished clinical practitioner of Medicine, with the aim of establishing a center of academic excellence in Southeast Asia [1, 5]. It began its journey in Pusat Bandar Damansara in 2005 as a college, initially offering nursing programs to a small cohort of 36 students [1, 7].

The institution experienced rapid growth, achieving University College status in 2009 and subsequently being upgraded to full University status in 2013, a significant milestone accomplished in less than a decade [1, 7]. This transformation reflects the dedication of its academic and administrative staff and its evolving program offerings.

The university later relocated to its main campus in Bandar Saujana Putra, Jenjarom, Selangor, a 48-acre purpose-built campus that houses advanced learning facilities, in-campus residences, and various recreational amenities [5, 7]. This development has further solidified MAHSA University's position as a comprehensive higher education institution in Malaysia.

MAHSA University encompasses several key faculties and centers, offering a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. These include the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, and the Faculty of Health Sciences, Nursing, and Education, which collectively represent its strong foundation in healthcare education [8].

Beyond healthcare, MAHSA University also features the Faculty of Business, Accounting, Finance, Law & Humanity, and the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment & Information Technology.

Additionally, the university includes a Centre for Pre-University Studies and a Centre for Post-Graduate Studies, facilitating academic progression from foundational courses to advanced research degrees. The range of offerings underlines MAHSA's commitment to preparing students for a wide array of professional careers [8].
