Overview of Education and Health Sector Business Opportunities in Tanzania

The health sector

After a series of major economic and social changes, the Government adopted a different approach to the role of private sector. New policies were developed that looked favorably on the role of the private sector.

The importance of the private sector in health care delivery was further recognized with an amendment to the Private Hospitals (Regulatory) Act, 1977 which resulted into the establishment of the Private Hospitals (Regulation) (Amendment) Act, 1991.

following this act, individual qualified medical practitioners and dentists could now manage private – hospitals, with the approval of the Ministry of Health.

The education sector

The government role is now changing from that of a key player to that of a facilitator in the provision of education and training.

This new role of the government provides a more conducive environment for the private sector to increase its investment in education.

Private investment in education will establish a more learning environment that will allow imparting both knowledge and technology to the youth and the whole society.

Recently, Tanzania has seen an increasing number of private in primary and secondary and training institutions evidencing that fact that after liberalisation the education sector is one of the attractive areas for private investment
