Tanzanite Hospital, a Tanzanian healthcare venture based in Mwanza has entered into a USD 5 million partnership with an Indian medical franchise, ES Health (Africa).
The tie-up will facilitate the installation of modern equipment and the deployment of specialists, boosting the provision of quality healthcare services. The partnership is likely to reduce the number of Tanzanians seeking medical services abroad.
The local institutions need to utilize opportunities for partnership projects with foreign investors, underlining that elevated facilities end the need to meet the costs of travel, accommodation, and health expenses in such trips, stated Gilead Teri, the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) executive director, at a press conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday after a meeting with the joint venture companies. Local patients needed to fly to India to access state-of-the-art health services, hailing President Samia Suluhu Hassan for making such investment possible on account of her state visit to India last year.
ES Health specialists will collaborate with Tanzanian doctors to improve the provision of healthcare services, which is what the public expects of Tanzanite Hospital in the coming months. There has been a significant increase in strategic partnership investment projects. From September to December 2023, up to 61 percent of projects registered by TIC were partnerships.
Jared Awando, the Tanzanite Hospital board vice chairman, praised TIC for presenting the opportunity to forge a strategic partnership. Tanzanite has nine doctors from India and is expected to start work next week in areas such as surgery, dental care, optical services, and many others. The hospital in Mwanza will strive to provide the lead in such treatment services. Shortly as technology and machines are brought into place, a medicine storage facility and a training college to enhance specialized skills are on the cards.
