The Aga Khan Health Service, Tanzania has undertaken a sizeable expansion of its hospital in Dar es Salaam, recently completing the Phase II that will serve over one million patients in the country each year. The expansion, which was funded through a grant from Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and AKDN, transforms the hospital from a 70-bed facility to a leading 170-bed tertiary care, referral and teaching hospital. The hospital will now serve as an integrated health care medical facility for the country and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. The Phase II expansion also includes an expansion of 35 outreach health centres throughout the country, 23 of which are already operational.
