A Vision Realized: The Birth of SFUCHAS
The Tanzania Episcopal Conference’s vision of enriching Tanzania’s healthcare landscape culminated in the establishment of St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences (SFUCHAS). This visionary institution emerged as a result of the Catholic Church’s commitment to bridging the gap in medical education, especially in marginalized areas. Following in the footsteps of the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) in Mwanza, SFUCHAS stands as the second medical school under the auspices of the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania.
A unique facet of SFUCHAS is its location. It holds the distinction of being the first medical university college in Tanzania to be founded in a rural setting. This strategic decision reflects a commitment to extending quality education to regions that often lack access to comprehensive healthcare and educational resources.

Situated in the heart of Ifakara, the administrative hub of Kilombero district in the Morogoro region, SFUCHAS stands as a testament to education’s transformative power. Ifakara lies 420 kilometers south of Dar es Salaam and 230 kilometers from Morogoro Town, an area characterized by its remote and rural essence. In this backdrop, SFUCHAS thrives, contributing to the socio-economic development of the region.
