Who we are
We are Global Health Tanzania
Global Health Tanzania is a registered NGO in the United Republic of Tanzania dedicated to the One Health concept of improving and protecting public health through research and action at the human, animal, and environmental interfaces. In addition to scientists trained in epidemiology, medicine, and veterinary medicine, we bring together expertise from engineering and computer science, economics, and social sciences to address endemic and emerging health challenges—establishing the Global Health Tanzania as a unique resource for improving the lives of Tanzanians and those across Africa. Our work is conducted in collaboration with national and local government, universities, and a diversity of private and public partners. Our work is made possible through grants, contracts, and generous donor support.
