A 132bn/- agreement has been inked to enhance quality of health services in the country through expansion of Dar es Salaam’s Aga Khan Hospital and establishment of a large network of outreach centres across the country.
Signed over the weekend in Gouvieux, France between the public development finance institution, Agence Française de Development (AFD) and Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) the agreement is envisioned to bring a broad spectrum of developmental changes to the sector.
At the signing event were, AFD’s deputy Chief Executive Officer, Jacques Moineville, and Amin Habib, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Aga Khan Health Services in Tanzania.
Moineville said the agreement covers construction of a new 14,000 square metre facility that will accommodate cardiology, oncology, neurosciences, critical care, mother and child health, nuclear medicine and imaging services.
He said the agreement also encompasses the establishment of 30 outreach centres across Tanzania that will provide free monitoring, immunisation and family planning services.
