In 2026, TZEMS aims to deploy a fully equipped, Advanced Life Support (ALS), ambulance in partnership with Dr. Mabula’s SQF Health NGO. This will be the region’s first coordinated ALS unit, delivering advanced prehospital care through standardized equipment and specially trained emergency medics.
Beyond response, the unit will serve as a training platform for new providers and establish a clear operational standard for modern emergency care in Tanzania.
