[>img[where is Muheza|http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/586/tzmapshowmhzio7.jpg]]Muheza is a small district town in the North East of Tanzania 40 Kms inland from the port of Tanga and about 100 kms south of the Kenyan border. It lies at the foot of the East Usambara mountains on the edge of the coastal plain. Until July 2007 Muheza District stretched from the Kenyan border to just north of the Pangani river, with a total area of 4922 km2. 90% of the 280,000 population lived in the rural areas. In July 2007 Muheza District was split in two roughly along the line of the Zigi river with Mkinga District to the north and Muheza to the south. As yet Mkinga District does not have a District Hospital and its health care facilities continue to be supported by St Augustine's Hospital.
