Your contribution to training health workers and improving healthcare will help save lives in sub-Saharan Africa not just today but for many years to come.
We welcome contributions from corporations, individuals, development partners and both private and public agencies. Such support makes it possible to train more doctors, nurses, pharmacists, radiographers, lab technicians, and other health professionals in Tanzania, and to also strengthen the wider health care system in which they work.
Among our chief priorities are to support Weill Bugando’s university to invest in future health workers and to support the development of Bugando Medical Centre. The sample costs below show the sort of investment that your donation could make possible.
