For more than 100 years, Murgwanza Hospital has been providing essential care in north-west Tanzania. Today, that care is under pressure, with ageing facilities in critical need of redevelopment.
Medical Mission Aid is leading the Murgwanza Hospital Redevelopment Project in partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Kagera, to help ensure this 250-bed hospital can keep serving the Ngara community for the next generation.
In 2024 alone, the hospital treated 31,679 outpatients, admitted 16,347 inpatients, performed 3,442 surgeries, and delivered 1,649 babies.
We’re proud to support our client, Dr Amanda Ward, who has been connected to Murgwanza since her first trip in 2007 and has returned 11 times to mentor a local obstetrician and gynaecologist, equip locals with vital health skills, and provide strategic advice to hospital management.
After 18 years of service through Medical Mission Aid, Amanda is continuing to advocate for the hospital and the community it serves. Please consider donating to this urgent redevelopment effort.

As a medical student, Amanda's heart was captured by the community of Murgwanza - in one of the most remote regions of North-West Tanzania.
