Digital Inclusion activities in Tanzania

In Tanzania the focus is on establishing the Information-Internet to provide healthcare services through mobile applications. GSMA has an infrastructure sharing pilot operation in Tanzania, thus an extension towards Information-Internet provision will allow for cost-effective provision of health services. The focal areas are enhancements of the epidemic registration, reporting and response through mobile apps, digital literacy programs, and entrepreneurial opportunities for indication-based diagnosis. The primary health centres will act as focal points for health education, to be extended with other education.

The overall objective of the health related activities in Tanzania are: To increase awareness on One Health to 80% of at risk population from identified priority zoonotic diseases areas at all levels, by June, 2020. Specifically, will be to produce the customized content for the health messages and to make a plan for rolling out the HIV and One Health messages in Kainam, Sanu and Yaeda chini villages in Mbulu District, Manyara region and Selela village of Monduli District in Arusha region, both of Northern Tanzania.

The implementation of One Health in Tanzania is based upon recognition of the intimate linkages among the human, animal and ecosystem health domains. It proposes an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral approach to disease surveillance, monitoring, prevention, control and mitigation of endemic and emerging diseases. In this intervention therefore, the diseases to be addressed are HIV, Bovine Tuberculosis, Cysticercosis and Anthrax
