Ocean Road Cancer Institute

Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) is a public, specialized, tertiary care medical facility owned by the Tanzania Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

The country has only two cancer hospitals, with the main one, ORCI, located in the capital, Dar es Salaam.

After the First World War, the British Colonial government reserved the hospital for serving the European communities.

The Radiotherapy Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Dar es Salaam was shifted from Muhimbili Medical Centre to the Ocean Road Hospital.
