Tanzania will launch a pilot Universal Health Insurance (UHI) program within President Samia’s first 100 days. Health Minister Mohamed Mchengerwa said the government will fully fund the initiative through the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The program will cover vulnerable households and provide a Basic Essential Services Package of 372 health services. Citizens can enroll and pay online. It will later expand to private-sector workers and other residents.
