Working with a team of consultants from McKinsey & Company's health systems practice, Weill Bugando leadership and Tanzanian health ministry officials, the Touch Foundation completed the diagnostic phase of the Lake Zone Initiative in the spring of 2008.
The Touch Foundation has launched a partnership with the Abbott Fund to improve laboratory services in the Lake Zone region of Tanzania, which covers roughly one-third of Tanzania's population.

As our work at Bugando has continued to progress, we have recognized that the weaknesses of the surrounding health system in the Lake Zone region limit the breadth of our impact.
