Ifakara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ifakara is a small rural town in the Kilombero district, Morogoro region, south central Tanzania. It is the headquarter of the Kilombero district administration and the main trading centre for Kilombero and Ulanga districts. The town is located near the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA) line, at the edge of the Kilombero valley, a vast swampland flooded by the mighty Kilombero River.
Ifakara is home to three major institutions of the Tanzanian health sector:
- the Ifakara Health Research and Development Centre, recognized internationally for its research on malaria, other tropical diseases and health systems and services
- the St. Francis Designated District Hospital
- the newly renovated Tanzania Training Centre for International Health, Ifakara (TTCIH) offering assistant medical officer (AMO) training
