The National Bureau of Statistics National Census of 2012 estimates that 50,1 million people live in Tanzania, making it the most extensive and second-most populous country in East Africa. Because of the country’s low population density and widespread settlement patterns, getting medical care there can be difficult. Across the total area of 940,000 km2, Tanzania’s population density varies from 12 people per square kilometer in Lindi to 3,133 persons per square kilometer in Dar es Salaam. The list of medical facilities will be arranged geographically, beginning with the country’s 31 administrative areas.
The healthcare system is hierarchical, and its administrative structure is tied to the functioning of facilities at the same level, as described by The Primary Health Care Development Program. The dispensary in each town and the health clinic in each neighborhood will serve as the primary care facilities (2007–2017). First come the district hospitals, the regional referral hospitals, the zonal referral hospitals, and finally, the national hospitals. Several specialized hospitals include the Ocean Road Cancer Institute and the Mirembe Psychiatric Hospital.

Please note that the availability and details of private hospitals may change over time. It’s always a good idea to verify the information by checking online directories, contacting local health authorities, or consulting with medical professionals in Tanzania for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
As expected, most of the private hospitals can easily fit in the list of top 10 best hospitals in Tanzania and location wise are all hospitals in Tanzania Dar es salaam.
That said, as of the year 2020, the list of all facilities includes 337 best hospitals in Tanzania as per below.
