Leader Stirling (19 January 1906 - 7 February 2003) was a missionary surgeon and former Health Minister in Tanzania. Born in England and raised in an ancient Scots family in Sussex Weald, Stirling attended Bishop's Stortford and the University of London. After a brief period of general practice, Stirling received a call from Universities' Mission to Central Africa, asking, “A doctor is urgently needed at Masasi. Can you go?” Stirling spent 14 years of service to the UMCA. During this time, he was based in Lulindi while traveling around to villages such as Newala, Masasi, Mkunya, and Chinako, eventually building hospitals and dispensaries in these places. Stirling also put an emphasis on training local nurses, establishing a precedent for official nurse recognition in Tanzania. Stirling's interest in scouting led to the establishment of a scouting program for Tanzanian youth. After his time with the Universities' Mission, Stirling joined the Benedictine Mission, and was sent to build a hospital in Mnero. In 1961 Stirling became a Tanzanian citizen, and in 1973, he was made Health Minister by Julius Nyerere.
