The proposed four years project will build on UNICEF and KOICA continual support and strong commitment to the Government of Tanzania in improving maternal and newborn health and survival in the country.

The project will upgrade four strategically located high volume health centres in four districts to be able to provide quality comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care (CEmONC), as well as establish the zonal blood transfusion centre so that women do not have to travel too far for life saving interventions such as cesarean section or blood transfusion in accordance with the World Health Organization process standard. The four strategic CEmONC health centres and the blood transfusion centres will be provided with equipment necessary for provision of the desired care. Furthermore, health workers from CEmONC health centres will be trained and receive hand-on-experience through attachment at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital and other high volume CEmONC health facilities.
