Why Choose Us

FWPPS Organization was established after a comprehensive analysis of the healthcare system, access to basic healthcare, vital health indicators and priority health needs of Tanzanian societies. The analysis involved key stakeholders ranging from healthcare leaders and providers at various levels to community stakeholders.

The following critical issues were identified;

  1. In Tanzania, the medical care services are skewed to tertiary and secondary health care, with inadequate attention to primary health care.
  2. Emphasis in disease prevention is mainly placed on secondary prevention rather that primordial and primary prevention which focus on influencing determinants of health.
  3. Access to primary health care is still a challenge especially in rural areas and poor urban settings.
  4. Tanzania is among of the Sub-Saharan Africa countries exhibiting the highest Neonatal and Maternal Mortality Rates (N/MMRs).
  5. Out of pocket expenditure is a dominant health financing approach.

These issues have impacted the attainment of global targets of UHC and sustainable development goal (SDG) no. 3. FWPPS Organization is well prepared to address these pressing issues by implementing targeted and research-backed interventions with special focus on improving access to and strengthening maternal, child and adolescent health services.
