Tanzania Medical Equipment Opportunities

The medical device market in Tanzania presents great opportunities for U.S healthcare firms to support this expanding sector.

Tanzania has made significant strides towards improving the standard of healthcare and healthcare delivery in recent years. These efforts have included increasing the access to high-quality medicines and medical devices throughout the country.

Now, rural areas are also receiving access to medical supplies largely due to improved communication between remote healthcare institutions and the main medical store. Improved regulatory capacity supports better quality, safety, and effectiveness of therapies, medical devices, and diagnostics.

Gaps remain between the diagnosis and the treatment of non-communicable diseases, which are quickly expanding.  Often, we see available resources target donor-funded infectious diseases or mother and child health programs, as is the case in many sub-Saharan African nations.

By 2030, the Africa medical device market is expected to reach a value of approximately USD 7.19 billion and the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.10%. Tanzania health commodities managed by Medical Store Department (MSD) is currently valued at USD 66.2 Million.

Evolving lifestyle choices is influencing the prevalence of chronic disorders, including diabetes, cancer and infectious diseases. With the growing general awareness of such conditions, the patient population requiring diagnostic procedures and tests is also growing significantly.

The medical device market in Tanzania presents great opportunities for U.S healthcare firms to support this expanding sector. Suppliers that serve the requirements of laboratories, provide surgical and radiology equipment, and diagnostic therapies in the healthcare sector in Tanzania have great prospects.
