Why Choose Us

FWPPS was established following a comprehensive analysis of the health system, accessibility to basic healthcare, vital health indicators, and priority health needs of Tanzanian societies. This analysis engaged key stakeholders, spanning healthcare leaders, providers at various levels, to community stakeholders. The following are the critical issues identified:

  1. In Tanzania, medical care services are primarily skewed towards tertiary and secondary healthcare, with insufficient attention to primary healthcare.
  2. The emphasis on disease prevention mainly revolves around secondary prevention, neglecting primordial and primary prevention, which emphasize on influencing determinants of health.
  3. Access to primary healthcare remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas and impoverished urban settings.
  4. Tanzania is among Sub-Saharan African countries exhibiting the highest Neonatal and Maternal Mortality Rates.
  5. Out-of-pocket expenditure is a dominant health financing model

These issues impend the attainment of global targets of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) no. 3. FWPPS Organization is well-equipped to address these pressing issues by implementing targeted and evidence-based interventions.
