Building a Lifesaving EMS System in Tanzania — Together
Tanzania has skilled, dedicated healthcare workers and a community that deserves coordinated emergency care. TZEMS exists to build the systems, training, and infrastructure that lets them do their best work.
Why This Matters
When a medical emergency strikes in Northern Tanzania, there is no system to call. No coordinated response. No guarantee that a trained provider is coming. For too many patients, the gap between emergency and care is filled by nothing.
The people of Tanzania deserve better, and the clinicians and paramedics who live and work there are ready to deliver it. They don't need to be taught how to care. They need a system that supports them.
That's what TZEMS is building.
An international partnership of interdisciplinary experts of physicians, nurses, and paramedics working together to build an EMS system that serves everyone.
Tanzanian-led, internationally supported. Our team starts with local expertise and vision, while backed by international experience in emergency medicine, critical care, and pre-hospital care.
Our project works to design and implement a prehospital emergency system in Tanzania. Phase by phase, shaped by data and the specific needs of each community.
