Facilities We Support

Ten healthcare facility types we plan, license, and prepare for operation across Tanzania.

What We Help You Build

Each facility type has its own regulatory pathway, premises standards, and staffing requirements. Below is an overview of what we handle for each.

Note: regulatory requirements and timelines change. The timelines below are indicative and are confirmed during your feasibility assessment.

Dispensaries

Retail medicine-dispensing outlets for community-level care.

A dispensary is often the first point of contact for patients in a community. We help you set up a compliant outlet that meets premises, storage, and staffing standards — and passes inspection the first time.

Regulatory pathway

Dispensaries are regulated by the Pharmacy Council, with additional permits from the local authority and relevant health authorities.

Key requirements
  • Qualified dispenser or pharmacist in charge
  • Compliant premises — size, storage, and hygiene standards
  • Proper medicine storage, record-keeping, and stock control
  • Business and local-authority permits

Typical timeline: 1–3 months for a compliant new dispensary.
