AboutOur Institute

Our history and mission

The City Institute of Health and Allied Sciences was established with a clear and vital mission: to address the growing demand for competent medical and allied health professionals in Tanzania.

Recognizing the need for quality health education in the Ilala district, our founders built a state-of-the-art campus in Chanika. We began by offering core diploma programs designed to meet the strict healthcare standards set by the Tanzanian government. Over the years, we have continuously expanded our modern learning facilities, laboratories, and curriculum to stay at the forefront of medical technology.

Today, through strategic partnerships with local hospitals and clinics, we provide unparalleled practical training to our students. The City Institute of Health stands as a premier health training college in Dar es Salaam, proudly recognized for our commitment to academic excellence, student success, and the improvement of public health across East Africa.
