This paper presents a historical analysis of health care services through African churches in Mbeya Region, Tanzania from the 1980s to the present. In particular, it examines the influence of African churches in healing diseases spiritually. It analyses the changes in health care services in Mbeya Region, and the dominance of African churches in health services. It also shows how health care services are provided, and the successes and challenges related to health care services in African churches. Methodologically, the paper is based on a careful analysis of oral interviews, archival documents and secondary data. It argues that African churches emerged in Mbeya in the 1920s in response to the historical churches that operated in the region from the 1890s. The paper notes that diseases have been a significant factor throughout African history. Controlling disease was an important aspect of change in different historical periods. Unfortunately, historians have rarely paid attention to the involvement of African churches in health care services. This paper covers the strategies used by African churches in health care services, such as preaching on healing methods from the Bible. Through healing services, leaders of African churches are able to transform their own lives, but not all individuals are healed. This paper makes a contribution to the historiography of Africa by identifying the role of African churches in healing systems.

本文介绍了1980年代至今坦桑尼亚姆贝亚地区通过非洲教堂提供的医疗保健服务的历史分析。特别是，它从精神上考察了非洲教会在治愈疾病方面的影响。它分析了姆贝亚地区医疗服务的变化以及非洲教会在医疗服务中的主导地位。它还显示了如何提供医疗保健服务，以及非洲教会中与医疗保健服务相关的成功与挑战。从方法上讲，本文基于对口头访谈，档案文件和辅助数据的仔细分析。它认为，非洲教堂是1920年代在姆贝亚（Mbeya）出现的，以回应1890年代在该地区经营的历史悠久的教堂。该文件指出，疾病一直是整个非洲历史上的重要因素。控制疾病是不同历史时期变化的重要方面。不幸的是，历史学家很少关注非洲教会参与卫生保健服务的情况。本文介绍了非洲教会在卫生保健服务中使用的策略，例如从圣经中传授治愈方法。通过康复服务，非洲教会的领导人能够改变自己的生活，但并非所有人都能得到医治。本文通过确定非洲教会在康复系统中的作用，为非洲的史学做出了贡献。本文介绍了非洲教会在卫生保健服务中使用的策略，例如从圣经中传授治愈方法。通过康复服务，非洲教会的领导人能够改变自己的生活，但并非所有人都能得到医治。本文通过确定非洲教会在康复系统中的作用，为非洲的史学做出了贡献。本文介绍了非洲教会在卫生保健服务中使用的策略，例如从圣经中传授治愈方法。通过康复服务，非洲教会的领导人能够改变自己的生活，但并非所有人都能得到医治。本文通过确定非洲教会在康复系统中的作用，为非洲的史学做出了贡献。
