History IHI
The beginning:
A visit to Ifakara by zoologist Dr. Rudolf Geigy from Switzerland in 1949
marked the beginning of over 50-year history of IHI. Geigy [1920-1995], a
scientist from the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel, sought a fieldwork
location for researching on tropical diseases. Eight years later, he opened the
Swiss Tropical Institute Field Laboratory (STIFL) there.
The name
“Ifakara” refers to “a place you go to die”, a reflection of the historically
high burden of disease in the area, before major control efforts started.

About St. Francis
Referral Hospital
1955 Dr. Karl
Schoepf, surgeon from Zams in Tyrol, began – together with the Swiss Capucine
Fathers and the Baldegg Sisters – to build a modern hospital in the small town
of Ifakara – at that time inhabited by 3000 people – in the Kilombero valley in
the former English colony of Tanganyika. It replaced the old missionary
hospital run by the Swiss Baldegg Sisters since 1931. In 1960, the new St.
Francis Hospital was opened, one year before Tanzania became independent. It
was run by Dr. Schoepf until his return to Austria in 1969. Since then, close
relations between Zams and Ifakara have continued.
History of St.
Francis Referral Hospital
1995 Dr.
Schoepf took the initiative again and intensified the old contacts with
Tanzania. By a small group of committed people several aid transports were
organized and the training of doctors and nurses was supported. After a number
of visits to Ifakara, high engagement and, finally, noticeable success, St.
Francis Hospital has become for us something like a “Tyrolean
Hospital” in Tanzania.
1998
partnership between the Roman Catholic parishes of Zams and Ifakara was called
into being.
2004 finally,
the cooperation was intensified to such an extent that the private supporters
believed it was necessary to found an association and have it officially
registered. This way the “Association of the Friends of Ifakara” came
into existence. Meanwhile, our association has won members and supporters all
over Austria, in Switzerland, Germany and South Tyrol. Its members work
voluntarily and pay for all expenses themselves – including flight- and
travelling costs. That is why all donations directly flow into the projects of
the association.
