Tanzania: EACOP Injects 2.8bn/ - Into Health Projects in Tanga, Geita
[Daily News] Dar es Salaam -- THE East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) has committed more than 2.8bn/- (1.06 million US dollars) to construct two health centres and expand emergency healthcare services in Tanga and Geita regions, a move expected to improve access to quality medical care for thousands of residents.
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) has pledged over $2.8 million to enhance health services in the Tanga and Geita regions, as part of its Social and Economic Investment (SEI) programme. Three key investments include the construction of Bukombe Health Centre in Geita, a new facility in Chongoleani Ward within Tanga City, and an Emergency Medicine Department at Bombo Regional Referral Hospital.
These initiatives aim to provide essential medical care for thousands of residents in the project areas, addressing the lack of referral-level primary healthcare services in Bukombe District and improving access to maternal, child health, and emergency services in Chongoleani Ward. Additionally, the upgraded Emergency Medicine Department at Bombo Regional Referral Hospital will bolster emergency preparedness and trauma care in Tanga Region, reducing the need for critically ill patients to travel long distances to access advanced treatment.
