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.

Throughout its existence, the Government was committed through an agreement to provide the operating costs.
