Our work in Tanzania
Tanzania has invested significantly in strengthening NCD-related health services in primary care centers nationally. Future efforts will focus on expanding and strengthening the delivery of NCD-related health services at the community level, digitalising NCD care pathways, and creating a shared health record for every person in Tanzania.
The Diabetes Compass initiative aligns strategically with the Tanzania National Digital Health Strategy, which underscores the use of digital technologies as a pivotal element in achieving universal health coverage. We are working with local partners to launch digital solutions that expand and standardise community- and facility-based NCD services. To reduce fragmentation, the Compass team builds on existing national platforms rather than introducing new, custom solutions. These solutions not only enhance the capture, use, and transfer of NCD data, but also improve the quality and accessibility of NCD health services while fostering/promoting information sharing across systems.
