Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s goal to strengthen medical education, accelerate health research and expand access to specialised care have received a major boost following a new partnership between the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) and the National University of Singapore (NUS), through its Duke-NUS Medical School.
The agreement is expected to directly enhance specialist training, advance cutting-edge research and support innovation in priority health areas such as sickle cell disease, infectious diseases and digital health—positioning Tanzania more firmly within the global medical research and innovation ecosystem.
