Establishing and maintaining the highest standards in healthcare professional education and training, encouraging generation of knowledge through research and helping to evolve holistic policies and plans for a healthy Kerala are the main objectives of the University. The name University of Health Sciences thus symbolises an education philosophy to emphasis on the promotion and preservation of health, rather than the mere treatment of diseases.

The University has jurisdiction throughout the State, and it is empowered to affiliate health care educational institutions belonging to the entire spectrum of the art and science of healing.
