Bring Healthcare Access to >40000 Rural Tanzanians

Organization information

Smart Villages Foundation

Location: Abingdon, United Kingdom

Summary

This project will enable remote Tanzanian Maasai communities to access the services of a qualified doctor at a fixed time each week via videoconference. Currently, patients must walk up to 6 hours or face high transport fees to see a doctor. This is infeasible for many, so patients resort to traditional remedies or wait weeks before seeking treatment, by which time it can be too late. Our telehealth hubs will enable remote communities to receive healthcare access at reduced cost, time and effort
