History:

In the early 1960s the Government of Tanganyika called upon the Protestant Churches in the country to establish a referral hospital for the Northern Zone and a national teaching hospital. Under the leadership of the Lutheran Church, the Anglican and Moravian Churches in Tanganyika established the Good Samaritan Foundation (GSF) as a body corporate registered in Tanganyika. Bishop Stephano R. Moshi became its first Chairman.

The GSF planned and raised large sums of money from local and overseas partners to build and equip the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC).

KCMC was opened in March 1971 and was taken over by the Government at the same time. It was handed back to the GSF in August 1992.

The changes in Government policy to liberalise the economy and provide social services rekindled the desire for higher education within the circles of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT).

In 1996 the Executive Committee of the ELCT decided to establish a Lutheran University, Tumaini University comprising, among others, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, as a Medical College. The Medical College became operational on 1st October, 1997.
