Tanzania bets big on ‘medical city’ to transform regional healthcare

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is steadily building the foundations of a regional medical hub, with a major shift now taking shape at Mloganzila where a planned “medical city” is bringing together training, research and specialised care under one ecosystem.

At the centre of this ambition is a newly approved $83 million modern teaching, research and treatment hospital at the already built Cardiovascular Centre of Excellence, expected to redefine specialised healthcare delivery in the country.
