Nkinga Hospital, founded in 1936 by Swedish Pentecostal Missionaries Rev. Erland and Ester Jonson, has a rich history of dedicated healthcare service. Originally established as a dispensary in the Nyawa Kingdom (now Nkinga), it evolved into a maternity ward in 1948 and attained full registration as a hospital in 1960. Owned and operated by the Free Pentecostal Church of Tanzania (FPCT), the hospital is guided by a core philosophy of providing inclusive and compassionate care to all, regardless of race, religion, or gender.

As a regional referral hospital designated in 2010, Nkinga Hospital has a capacity of 260 beds and employs 252 staff members, including specialists, medical doctors, and support personnel. Serving a catchment population of approximately 7 million across several regions: Tabora, Katavi, Shinyanga, Singida, and Kigoma, the hospital manages over 67,000 outpatient visits and 15,000 inpatient stays annually. The team manages complex obstetric emergencies, and major surgeries alongside extensive minor procedures. Additionally, Nkinga Hospital plays a vital educational role as the teaching facility for the Nkinga Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS), training medical interns, doctors, and nurses each year since 2014.
