==History==
KUHS was established in 2010 through an ordinance and later Kerala University of Health Sciences Act, 2010. All branches of treatment came under the university and medical and para-medical colleges previously functioning under different Universities, like [[University of Kerala]], [[Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala|Mahatma Gandhi University]], [[Calicut University]], [[Kannur University]], [[Cochin University of Science and Technology]], and [[Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit]], also came under this university. The territorial jurisdiction of the university shall extend to the whole of the State of [[Kerala]].<ref name="act1">[http://www.kuhs.ac.in/files/act.pdf Act of 2010] not secured website

==Affiliated colleges==
This list is categorised into two parts, Autonomous colleges and Non-Autonomous colleges. Autonomous colleges are bestowed academic independence, primarily in order to enhance the level of education in those colleges.

A college may be classified as government-run, private unaided, or private aided. A government college receives full funding from the [[Government of Kerala]], while a private unaided college receives no funding from the government. In a private aided college, one or more of its courses receives partial funding from the government.

===Autonomy===
Autonomy, as granted by the [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]], in concurrence with the Government of Kerala has been conferred upon selected colleges, which grants upon them, certain special privileges.

Autonomous colleges can frame their own schemes of study, curricula and evaluation, without need of the approval of the university. These colleges also have the freedom to conduct add on courses and supplementary semesters for students who may be in need of it. They also have the freedom to avail grants from funding agencies. All of these privileges are not granted to non-autonomous colleges.<ref name="act1" />
