The USAID funds will be used to ensure sufficient oxygen supply and professional training for healthcare personnel at Tanzania’s at four regional referral hospitals, namely Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital, Mount Meru Regional Referral Hospital, Bombo Regional Referral Hospital, and Sekou Toure Regional Referral Hospital.
The USAID Project Management Specialist, Dr. Miriam Kombe, reiterated the commitment of the United States government to cooperate with the government of Tanzania on Tanzania’s National COVID-19 Response Plan.
