Dar es Salaam. The number of Tanzanians covered by health insurance has reached 37 percent, signalling steady progress in expanding financial and health inclusion, the Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (Tira) has said.
Tira also reported that the insurance sector now contributes 2.0 percent to Tanzania’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), up from less than one in the past, with the goal of reaching 3 percent by 2030 as set out in the Financial Sector Development Master Plan (2020–2030).
