Manguzi Hospital was started by the Methodist church as a mission hospital. Even after the take over of the hospital by the government, the hospital still strives to maintain a Christian ethos with daily chapel services. There is also a weekly Bible study meeting for medical and paramedical staff. A chaplain is also employed using donated private funds. Thus doing we aim to minister to physical and spiritual needs of our patients.
