(Photo: Henry Mazunda, Swiss TPH) The Health Promotion and System Strengthening (HPSS) project, funded by SDC and implemented by Swiss TPH, supported the Government of Tanzania in addressing major challenges of the health system. Over the past 12 years, the project improved access, quality, and affordability of healthcare with innovative solutions, like the "improved Community Health Fund" (iCHF), which provides affordable health insurance for low-income populations. HPSS substantially strengthened the pharmaceutical sector, health technology management, and health promotion, recognising the importance of community involvement for lasting improvements. HPSS began as a pilot project in the Dodoma region in 2011 and ultimately expanded its reach to all 26 regions of mainland Tanzania, integrating innovative solutions into the national health system. The goal was to comprehensively address health system challenges at various levels simultaneously, creating sustainable improvements in Tanzania's healthcare landscape. "HPSS implemented innovations at crucial junctures within the health system, benefiting the entire nation," said Ally-Kebby Abdallah, HPSS project manager in Tanzania.
