Tanzania has been urged to harness its own resources and innovation to sustain progress in the health sector amid declining foreign support. The call was made by the Global CHOICE Project Lead, Dr Zulfiqar A. Bhutta. He was speaking during the workshop for stakeholders in the CHOICE Tanzania Project, an initiative of the Institute for Global Health and Development at Aga Khan University, Pakistan, aimed at strengthening mental health and well-being through a gender-sensitive approach. Aga Khan Health Service Tanzania Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sisawo Konteh, said climate change, mental health, and gender equity have a profound impact on both family and national well-being. “Through CHOICE, we are generating evidence, inspiring action, and building healthier, more resilient communities,” he said.
