Though outsourcing at MRH are effective but there some problems like Low knowledge and skills to services providers which forced the MRH to employ health attendants to performs cleanness also modern equipment are not user friendly by service providers were supported by 55% of respondents and the organization faced with theft incidence were supported by 93% of respondents. These findings are both consistent and inconsistent with the previous research findings. The researcher recommends that for the effectiveness of services outsourcing at MRH, the service provider for cleaning service should be the one who have competent workers who can clean both infectious (IPC) and non-infectious products in hospital while for security service there should be competent workers who are well equipped with technological advancement in securing the hospital. The results obtained from the research that was conducted in Mbeya referral hospital cannot be generalized to all services outsourcing as the services providers at MRH may be different to that of Muhimbili National Hospital.
