About Haydom Hospital

 

The information below comes from the Official Haydom Lutheran Hospital website (www.haydom.com).

Haydom Lutheran Hospital is located in the North of Tanzania, around 300 km South-West of Arusha. In the Mbulu area we are the largest hospital, with more than 400 beds, serving around 300.000 people directly and 2.000.000 as referral hospital.

In the beginning of the 1950s Haydom was an uninhabited bush. Tsetse flies made the area uninhabitable for people, but the area was fruitful: there was an extensive animal kingdom and dry, but luxuriant vegetation.

Fifty years later, Haydom is a village with one of Tanzania’s best hospitals, schools and education at collage level, churches and assembly houses, stores, guest house and trade, a network of roads that connects the town to a large surrounding area, their own water supply, electricity and air strip – and en elite of educated humans that are engaged in further develop their town and country.
