Children and young people in Pangani District are set to benefit from improved healthcare following the inauguration of a Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre, a Youth-Friendly Service Unit and climate-resilient infrastructure at Pangani District Hospital.
The facilities were inaugurated through a partnership between Amref Health Africa Tanzania, the Embassy of Ireland and the Government of Tanzania, under efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve access to essential services for children and young people.
The investment also includes a solar photovoltaic energy system and rainwater harvesting infrastructure designed to support the hospital’s operations and strengthen its resilience to climate-related challenges.
Ireland’s Ambassador to Tanzania, Nicola Brennan, said the success of the investment would ultimately depend on the quality of care provided to patients rather than the facilities themselves.
