St. Francis Hospital belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mahenge and has fulfilled so far – according to a contract with the government – the assignment of a Designated District Hospital. It was responsible for the medical care of Kilombero and Ulanga Districts, in other words, for about 600.000 people living in an area approximately as large as Switzerland.
Hospitali ya Mt.Fransisko ni mali ya jimbo katholiki la Mahenge. Kufuatia mtataba wake na serikali, hadi hivi karibuni hospitali hii imekuwa ikitoa huduma kama hospitali ya wilaya. Iliwajibika kutoa huduma ya tiba kwa wilaya za Kilombero na Ulanga eneo lenye takribani wakazi 600,000 na lenye ukubwa karibu sawa na nchi ya Uswisi.
