and it was offically opened by His Excellency the late President Julius
Kambarage Nyerere on 3rd November 1971. In 1972 the Hospital was nationlized by
the Government. However, in October 1985 the Government handed back the
Hospital to the Tanzania Episcopal Conference of the Catholic Bishops of
Tanzania who is the owner with an agreement that the hospital be run in
partnership with the government to provide Government Services as a referral
