The memorandum seeks to support Tanzanian health under the global health strategy of President Trump’s administration.
The United States has signed a five-year bilateral global health Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tanzania under President Trump’s America First Global Health Strategy. The agreement is intended to advance shared global health goals and increase Tanzanian self-sufficiency to address infectious diseases and emerging health threats.
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said, “Building on decades of gains made through U.S. global health assistance to Tanzania, the United States and Tanzania will act as co-investors under this MOU, jointly building a durable network of hospitals, laboratories, and health care workers able to care for Tanzanians now and independently address public health threats of the future.”
“Joint activities under this MOU aim to facilitate a sustainable transition from the previous donor-recipient model to a new partnership that will help Tanzania finance, manage, and sustain its health system over the long run, strengthening Tanzania’s ability to detect and respond to infectious disease outbreaks,” Spokesman Pigott continued. “The five-year MOU also intends to sustain national control of HIV, malaria, polio, and tuberculosis, and meet the needs of Tanzania’s growing population through supporting maternal and child health.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary of State Rubio to be led by God as he oversees the U.S. investments into global humanitarian aid, health, and disease prevention.
- For State Department officials to be discerning in their administration of international aid and health programs.
