Hintergrund |
Tanzania focuses on industrialization as a strategy for increasing economic growth and a pathway to reaching middle income status by 2025. The government is undertaking reforms in the public sector to drive industrialization and increase tax revenues to co-finance basic social services delivery. The health sector is engaged in various reforms in order to achieve Universal Health Coverage as called for by the Sustainable Development Goals and the “Tanzania Development Vision 2025”. The health sector indicators for under five and infant mortality have improved but with little progress on neonatal and maternal mortality that have not shown progress. Life expectancy at birth has also improved. The sector is however faced with the challenges of the disease burden due to the increase of Non-Communicable Diseases, shortage of human resources for health, late and partial disbursements of the health budget to mention a few. The Health financing strategy identifies a Single National Health Insurance as the primary resource mobilization strategy for the health sector. It is expected that the mandatory single national health insurance will increase the number of people with health insurance. However, the availability of quality services and the definition of a minimum benefit package will determine effective uptake of any insurance scheme. Two innovations of the Health Promotion and System Strengthening project (HPSS) in health financing and medicines supply developed during phase 2, namely the improved Community Health Fund and the Jazia Prime Vendor, have been adopted as national strategies by the health sector. The ongoing Mid Term Review of the Health Sector Strategic Plan IV and the Health Basket Fund Performance-based financing findings and recommendations will be used to guide future policy dialogue with the government. |
Ziele | The health system of Tanzania is strengthened with regard to leaving no one behind in universal access to a minimum package of primary health care services. This will be achieved through the promotion of basic health insurance, the reliable availability of essential medicines, the functioning of medical equipment and the promotion of healthy living. |
Zielgruppen | Government ministries: President’s Office for Regional and Local Government Administration (PORALG), Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), District and Regional Authorities. |
