Tanzania lifts the lid on its healthcare upsurge
DAR ES SALAAM: TANZANIA’S healthcare sector enjoys massive growth, and today, it meets all global standards, the Chief Executive Officer of Global Medicare, Abdumalik Mollel, revealed today, August 15, 2025, in Dar es Salaam.
He said the sector has seen a rapid growth in its endeavour to meet the international standards, thanks to the presence of highly skilled medical professionals and modern, high-quality healthcare services available in various medical facilities across the country.
Speaking today during the 10th anniversary celebration of the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI), held at the Library Auditorium of the University of Dar es Salaam, Mollel highlighted that these developments have positioned Tanzania among the leading countries in Africa in terms of quality healthcare services.
“Tanzania is now proud to host several international hospitals working in partnership with local institutions to deliver medical services. This collaboration has significantly improved both the quality and accessibility of healthcare for citizens,” Mollel said.

He added that unlike in previous years when many Tanzanians had to travel abroad for specialized treatment, the situation has changed significantly. Today, a large number of citizens can access quality care within the country, while Tanzania is also emerging as a key destination for medical tourism in the region.
“Tanzania has established itself as one of the leading hubs for medical tourism. Patients from neighboring countries and even beyond Africa are coming here to access high-quality services, made possible by state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained professionals,” he explained.
Mollel emphasized that these achievements not only improve the well-being of Tanzanians but also contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth. “We are no longer talking about Tanzanians going abroad for treatment – the narrative has shifted. People are now coming to Tanzania for world-class healthcare,” he concluded.
