According to the assessment conducted in 2019, as reported in the Health Sector Performance Profile in 2019, the minimum number of health workers required to provide quality health services to 8,628 health facilities in the country is 219,061. The actual number of health workers available is 102,469 and the shortage is 116,592, which is about 52%.

BMF’s programs are geared to supplement and complement the development efforts of the Government of Tanzania through the implementation of innovative initiatives to enhance the delivery of quality health services in most underserved areas.

The health workforce is the backbone of a good functioning health system that is critical in accelerating progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building strong primary health care systems and equitable access to health for all. Despite its importance, Tanzania faces a chronic shortage of qualified health workers particularly in the rural areas that become a major barrier for accessing quality health services, leaving the populations most in need behind.
