The focus of the School of Nursing and Midwifery in East Africa is to develop nursing and midwifery graduates dedicated to transforming health and improving lives. Through our work we strive to ensure our programmes are of high quality, accessible, relevant and impactful.

We began training nurses and midwives in Zanzibar in 2006 and over several years graduated cohorts of nurses with diplomas and degrees in nursing and midwifery. This book is a dedication to the work of our alumni and their extraordinary impact across the Zanzibar Archipelago.
