This project provides coordinated health system strengthening and service delivery for primary health care across Tanzania. Project activities include: (1) delivering life-saving essential primary health care services such as antenatal and postnatal care, emergency obstetric and newborn care, and family planning; (2) conducting small-scale rehabilitation of health facilities to support the provision of gender-sensitive sexual and reproductive health and rights and maternal and adolescent health services; (3) training, mentoring and supervising healthcare workers; (4) performing immunizations and preventing and treating communicable diseases such as malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea and COVID-19; and (5) supporting the strengthening health facility governance committees (including to enhance women’s participation). The Health Basket Fund provides 90% of funding directly to 5,591 public sector primary health facilities across mainland Tanzania. The project expects 71 million patient visits to take place annually at village-level health dispensaries and 48 million patient visits to take place at health centres.
