In a quest to improve healthcare infrastructure and local capacity in Tanzania, the African Development Fund has financed a new Tanzanian Center of Excellence for Cardiovascular Science. This state-of-the-art facility at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences has been a welcome response to the rising number of cases of cardiovascular diseases that the country has been combatting in recent years. The center has a goal to train medical staff in cardiovascular disease prevention, disease treatment and rehabilitation of patients touched by cardiovascular diseases. This center is part of a larger regional health response through biomedical education in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.
