Tanzania turns to PPPs to tackle neonatal death rates

Tanzania is advancing efforts to curb newborn deaths through a unique public–private partnership (PPP) involving the Aga Khan Hospital, the Aga Khan University Medical College and Amana Regional Referral Hospital. The collaboration, supported by the Paediatric Association of Tanzania (PAT), focuses on strengthening frontline capacity to improve the initial stabilisation of newborns, an intervention that experts describe as the “missing link” in tackling neonatal mortality.
