The Aga Khan Hospital, Dar es Salaam - Phase II will be inaugurated on Saturday 9 March 2019 in the presence of Princess Zahra and His Excellency, the Honourable Kassim M. Majaliwa (MP), Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania.

Phase II began in 2012, as part of the Hospital’s evolution, when the Aga Khan Health Services embarked on a TZS 192 billion expansion. This has transformed the Aga Khan Hospital from a 74-bed hospital into a 170-bed tertiary care teaching hospital that offers the facilities to successfully provide advance clinical programmes in cardiology, oncology, neuro sciences, critical care (including neo-natal critical care), and maternal and child health, all supported by relevant diagnostics, integrated operating rooms and a sophisticated accident and emergency department
