Context
Rural Tanzania is home to more than 80% of the country’s poor, with 70% of the population living on less than $2 per day, according to the World Bank. Access to healthcare is severely limited due to poverty, low education levels and a shortage of medical facilities. With only one physician per 20,000 people, and just one in five serving rural communities, most rural populations are critically underserved.
Maternal health outcomes are particularly alarming: Tanzania’s maternal mortality rate is 556 deaths per 100,000 live births, and only 55% of rural deliveries are attended by a skilled provider, compared with 87% in urban areas.
Goals
The project aims to support access to high-quality locally-led healthcare in critically underserved rural northern Tanzania.
