Dear Friends,
This year marks Touch’s ten year anniversary. Together, over the past decade, we have
made a remarkable impact on the Tanzanian health system and thereby on the lives of
the Tanzanian people.
When we first launched Touch, we faced a daunting challenge. Tanzania ranked near
the bottom, worldwide, in a host of health indicators and its health system was woefully
ill-equipped to provide care for its people. Our impact to date has far outpaced our most
optimistic expectations. Over the past 10 years, Touch has supported the education of
over 2,000 healthcare workers, including 278 physicians and 70 specialists. 96% of these
graduates remain in Tanzania and continue to work in the healthcare sector. In addition
to focusing on training much needed healthcare workers, we have also strengthened the
various healthcare delivery mechanisms for the institutions that comprise our Treat &
Train network. Through improvements in infrastructure, equipment, and supplies, we have
enabled healthcare workers to optimally use their knowledge and skills to serve the many
patients in need.
Stepping into Touch’s second decade, we will build on our success by further expanding
our focus on strengthening the overall health system to ensure proper delivery of care.
In addition to continuing our current efforts, our work will include a concerted focus on
optimizing deployment and retention of skilled healthcare workers in areas where they are
needed the most. With the knowledge gained from our ten years of on-the-ground experience, we will continue to share this replicable and scalable healthcare model, serving as a
resource for other frontline players addressing the healthcare crisis in disadvantaged communities around the world.
Our committed and deepening partnerships with the Catholic University of Health
and Allied Sciences, Bugando Medical Center, the United States Agency for International
Development, and the Tanzanian government have never had more momentum. We are
poised for our next decade to be even more impactful than the last.
Even with the great progress made over the past decade, much remains to be accomplished. Sub-Saharan Africa still faces a severe shortage of human resources for health and
an extraordinary disease burden. In our globalized world, our response to this crisis not only
has profound implications for the people within these affiliated geographies but also for
many others beyond these regional borders.
I am profoundly grateful for the partnership, commitment, and generous support of our
donors, board members, staff, partners, and volunteers. Your support is deeply appreciated.
Thank you for an extraordinary decade of life-saving work.
Warmest regards,

healthcare crisis overview
Tanzania has a population of 49.3 million
people, making it one of the most populous
countries in Africa.1 Access to even basic
healthcare services is often limited for a
significant portion of the population, particularly for the 70% of the population living
in rural areas.2
In Tanzania, women are 15 times more
likely to die during childbirth and there are
nearly 2.5 times as many deaths from cardiovascular disease and diabetes than in the
United States. Child mortality, as defined by
95 is 54 deaths

in Tanzania, compared to 45 in South Africa
and only 7 in the U.S. The majority of deaths
in children under five are due to acute respiratory infection, birth asphyxia, premature
birth, malaria, and diarrhea.3 All of these
causes would be easily preventable, provided
access to proper facilities, basic drugs, and
skilled healthcare workers.

SOURCES 1) WHO WORLD HEALTH STATISTICS 2014 2) THE WORLD BANK
The shortage of skilled healthcare workers
is one of the key factors affecting the overall
health system performance. Although the
number of practicing doctors has more than
doubled over the past ten years, Tanzania’s
physician density of less than one doctor
per 10,000 people still lags far behind South
Africa’s 8 doctors and the U.S.’ 25 doctors
per 10,000 people.4 Similar shortages exist in
mid-level cadres such as nurses
and midwives, Assistant Medical Officers,
and Clinical Officers, which constitute the
much needed backbone for basic
healthcare delivery.
As a result, many health facilities are
under-resourced and lack staff with appropriate clinical qualifications. Furthermore,
the limited healthcare workforce is unevenly
distributed across the country. Healthcare
workers are concentrated in urban centers
while rural districts suffer from a chronic
shortage of skilled staff.
Even when healthcare workers are available, several other factors prevent patients
from receiving quality care. These include a
limited availability of medical equipment and
supplies, poor infrastructure, a malfunctioning referral system, and poor management
of health facilities. As an example, a recent
assessment of the Sengerema district in the
Lake Zone showed that life-saving maternal
health commodities such as benzathine penicillin, oxytocin, and oral rehydration therapy
are out of stock up to 125 days per year.5
All of these factors need to be addressed to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of
the Tanzanian health system.
4 2006 figure for number of doctors in Tanzania is from the 2009 Touch
Foundation report, Catalyzing Change: Molecular Strengthening of the
Health System in the Tanzanian Lake Zone. The 2013 figure for number
of doctors in Tanzania was estimated based on the number of physicians
in Tanzania as of 2008 (according to the Annual Health Statistical
Tables and Figures published by the Ministry of Health and Social
Welfare in 2009) as well as on the estimated number of MD graduates
from the 5 Tanzanian medical universities during 2009-13. The world
average of physician density is from Global Health Facts, http://kff.org/
global-indicator/physicians/

touch’s approach to addressing
the healthcare crisis
Touch is committed to improving the health
of the Tanzanian population by strengthening
the overall health system. We approach the
health system as an interconnected web of
elements, all of which need to be functional
to enable effective delivery of care. These elements include healthcare workers, infrastructure, supplies and equipment, transportation
and referrals, and healthcare management,
among others.
Touch works across the different levels
of the health system from tertiary hospitals
down to village level facilities. We structure
our work within two main programs:
Treat & Train: an integrated healthcare
and education network in the Lake
Zone of Tanzania
Knowledge Management and Sharing
We increase the number of quality skilled
healthcare professionals by training new and
existing healthcare workers such as physicians, nurses, lab technicians, health institution managers, and many others and ensuring they receive a quality education. As an
example, through our external clinical rotations, part of the Treat & Train program, we
send students from the Catholic University
of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS)
in Mwanza and local and international
faculty to partner hospitals in the region.
This decreases the student load at Bugando
Medical Centre (BMC), Mwanza’s tertiary
hospital, and enables students to receive high
quality training from the posted faculty. The
specialists not only support the education of
critical cadres of healthcare professionals,
but also provide patients with access to care
previously unavailable at these hospitals,
enhance the skills of the existing staff, and
drive improvements in hospital systems
and procedures.
Touch approaches the health system as an interconnected web of elements,
all of which need to be functional to enable effective delivery of care
8 celebrating ten years of touch foundation
Ensuring long-term impact
and sustainable results through
an innovative approach
A student in class at CUHAS
Touch also improves healthcare delivery
mechanisms by strengthening the Treat &
Train facilities as well as enhancing the processes and systems for collaboration among
institutions. We support local facilities with
investments in needed infrastructure such
as C-section theatres and student housing,
and equipment including biomedical devices,
power generators, and IT systems. We
simultaneously build collaborative structures across the network to enhance critical
functions such as patient referrals, patient
transportation, supply and procurement, and
repair and maintenance.
At the national level, we work to address
the deployment and retention of healthcare professionals to ensure they are posted
where needed the most, thus optimizing the
distribution of the scarce resources available
across the country.
Through our Knowledge Management
and Sharing program, we aim to expand our
impact across Tanzania and beyond by translating on-the-ground results into a scalable
model and sharing learnings with the local
and international public health community.
Touch’s work in Tanzania has been driven by
an extensive and long-standing collaborative
network which includes central and local
governments, and local and international
partners. These collaborations and partnerships are integral to the success and the longterm financial and managerial sustainability
of our programs.
Touch designs high-impact initiatives
by applying a rigorous problem-solving
approach. We select key areas of intervention
and design our programs based on a robust
needs analysis and the experience we have
gained on the ground. Touch acts as a catalyst
by attracting local and international partners
to bring together the technical expertise
required to affect change.
We undertake our work hand-in-hand with
our Tanzanian partners, enabling them to
own the programs from the very beginning
and ensuring that Touch can transition out
when the programs have been established.
After actively managing the initial execution
phase of each project, we gradually transition
program management to local owners.
To manage our programs and coordinate our partners, Touch employs a team
of professionals with diverse backgrounds,
including management consultants, medical
doctors, and academics, combining the best
of private and public sector approaches to
deliver maximum impact.
celebrating ten years of touch foundation 9
impact to date
Since Touch was founded in 2004, we have
supported the education of over 2,000 healthcare workers. In addition to helping graduate
a large number of healthcare workers, we
have also improved the quality of their education. Today, the vast majority of these graduates work within Tanzania’s health system,
providing much-needed healthcare to the
Tanzanian population.
We have further improved healthcare
delivery by enhancing the skills of existing
healthcare workers as well as strengthening
healthcare delivery mechanisms, such as
upgrading facilities and medical equipment,
and enhancing management of healthcare facilities.

Strong deployment
and retention of trained
healthcare workers
We are proud to report that 96% of the
CUHAS and BMC graduates are deployed
and remain in the Tanzanian health system,
delivering quality healthcare to the population across the country. These graduates are
working in all but one region of Tanzania and
approximately 85% of them are performing
clinical work. Moreover, these graduates are
having a tremendous impact on the population’s health; over the course of their career,
each MD will save at least 300 lives and care
for thousands of people.1

referral network. Finally, the ongoing expansion of the post-delivery ward will create a
suitable environment for new mothers, who
currently may be required to share a bed with
one or two other mothers recovering from
child delivery.
As part of the external clinical rotation
program, CUHAS and BMC faculty, and specialists from our partner international organizations, posted at Treat & Train hospitals
have delivered specialized care to more than
250,000 local inpatients and outpatients.
Across the nation, the over 2,000 BMC
and CUHAS graduates from the past 10
years are now working in all but one
region of Tanzania, continuing to provide
quality healthcare across the country, long
after their training has concluded.

BMC, the tertiary hospital located in
Mwanza, has more than tripled its inpatient volume in the last ten years and serves
a catchment population of approximately
16 million people. To provide adequate care,
the hospital staff has grown significantly,
especially in areas of high clinical expertise.
BMC has seen a four-fold increase in surgery
staff and a twelve-fold increase in pediatric
staff, including specialists, residents, and
registrars. Laboratory testing, radiological
procedures, and surgical procedures have also
grown over the same period of time.
At the district level, we have supported
clinical upgrades at Sengerema Designated
District Hospital (SDDH) by purchasing
critical biomedical devices, such as a portable
ultrasound and a digital x-ray. We are also
building a dedicated C-section theatre to
improve the quality of care delivered to the
nearly 1,000 women in need of a C-section

Dr. Sharau is the first
Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon
in Tanzania. Upon completing a five-year fellowship
training in Israel, he
returned to Tanzania in

ngayomela
manyama
Dr. Ngayomela is an
Orthopedic and Trauma
Surgeon at BMC. Dr.
Ngayomela is also the
Head of the Department
of Surgery at BMC and
lecturer at CUHAS.
Dr. Manyama is a Senior
Lecturer and Head of the

Dr. Mongella is a Pediatric
Specialist at CUHAS, where
she currently works as a
lecturer in the Department
of Pediatrics and Child
Health. Dr. Mongella was
one of the ten students in
the first medical class
at CUHAS.
What changes have you seen
over the ten years you have
been at CUHAS ?
“In the past ten years that I have been at
CUHAS, I’ve seen enormous growth. What began
as a single college has now blossomed into a
full-fledged university with several schools. I was
part of the first group of ten; we called ourselves
‘the guinea pigs.’ Since then, the university has
produced hundreds of physicians, nurses, lab
scientists, and allied health specialists and our
current graduating class now has 140 students.
A growing student body has also brought
new ventures in expanding our teaching sites.
Teaching has grown beyond the tertiary level,
reaching down to the regional and district hospitals. This has given our students a wide range of
clinical exposure and enabled us as clinicians to
see how medicine is practiced at other facilities.
All the progress that has occurred in the past ten
years has been accomplished with great support from the friends and supporters of Touch
Foundation, who have been with us from
the beginning. We are very appreciative
of this support.”
16 celebrating ten years of touch foundation
Why did you to return to
Tanzania? Describe the types
of surgery you currently do at
BMC. What types of surgery
do you hope to do in the future
and why?
“What brought me back home, first, was that it
just felt right to work in an area where my skills
and knowledge are so needed. Second, I knew that
I would get greater satisfaction working in this
area, because with little input and few resources,
you can achieve significant changes and impact so
many lives. Third, I wanted to inspire young professionals to be part of spearheading healthcare
development in Tanzania. Fourth, it is home and
there’s no place like home.
At BMC, we not only do open heart surgeries for
children who are in need of these lifesaving surgeries, but we also operate on adults. You cannot
return to this resource-limited area and say ‘I only
trained in pediatrics;’ you have to do a lot more.
Yet, with such a long waiting list and very limited
resources, we have to be very selective as to which
patients we will operate on. This is a challenge
but we hope in the future, we can approach more
complex cases if resources will allow.”
What are some of the challenges you face in delivering
care and how could those be
alleviated in the future?
“We have a large number of patients and we
simultaneously face human resource shortages,
amongst other challenges. There are things like
infrastructure—our only referral hospital in the
Lake Zone has the capacity for one thousand
patients, but we still have, at some points, two
patients lying in one bed. We also have shortages
with surgical supplies such as instrumentation
and orthopedic implants.
The biggest burden we now have in Tanzania
is trauma. One of the ways we are trying to
address issues such as trauma is by training more
medical professionals, an area Touch Foundation
is supporting. We are hoping in the future that
we will be able to provide more specialized
treatments, not only related to trauma, but also
for problems like degenerative conditions and
neurological conditions.”
How has teaching evolved at
Bugando in your time there?
“There has been progress in the graduate numbers and infrastructure. We are now extending our teaching to nearby hospitals around
Mwanza. What this has done is not only provide
our students with clinical training, but also,
when faculty teach at these hospitals, they are
specialists who then provide care to patients.
In addition, when we started, the professors
in Bugando very much depended on the professors at institutions nearby. Now in most departments, we have our own professors teaching and
we continue to improve their expertise. Touch
supports our effort to brush up the skills of our
professors in Bugando. We have also been able
to review the curriculum and introduce a lab so
students can practice their skills in a safe environment before they examine patients. As faculty, we will continue to improve more and more,
enhancing the education of healthcare workers
and advancing Tanzania’s health system.”

solidified existing partnerships and
explored new opportunities.
Members of the Board and staff held strategy sessions with key stakeholders, including
USAID, the Tanzanian Ministry of Health
and Social Welfare, CUHAS (the medical
university), and BMC (the tertiary hospital), among others. On tours of the different
healthcare facilities, the Directors observed
the progress made over the past ten years in
student education and patient care.
The Directors also had an opportunity to
meet and socialize with current students,
alumni, faculty, and members of the local
community, hearing their perspectives on the
impact of Touch’s work as well as the challenges that remain to be addressed.
