The partnership is expected to increase access to life-saving dialysis treatment by expanding healthcare capacity and improving the availability of specialised renal care across the country.
The initiative seeks to address the growing demand for dialysis services while strengthening Tanzania’s healthcare system through strategic investment in medical infrastructure and specialised treatment facilities.
The agreement also reflects Tanzania’s broader commitment to partnering with development finance institutions and private investors to improve the quality, accessibility and sustainability of healthcare services.
The deal was among several agreements announced during the Africa50 forum, which brings together African leaders, investors and development partners to promote investment in infrastructure projects that support economic growth and improve essential public services across the continent.
