The St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences (SFUCHAS) is a constituent college of St. Augustine University of Tanzania. [1]

The college was established in 2010 by the Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC) based on the need of the Catholic Church to contribute to the training of more doctors and other Health Professionals in Tanzania. The college was provisionally registered by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) on 2 November 2010 and was fully registered in September 2013.

The college is the second Medical school after the former Weill Bugando in Mwanza, now Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) to be established and owned by the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania.
