Amref Health Africa Tanzania key focus is centered on improving the health of women and children in the communities, while also engaging and involving men with aim of contributing to the reduction of preventable maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent morbidity and mortality in the country. The key focus areas on the RMNCAH portfolio are maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for young people and women of reproductive age. The projects focus on increasing the number of skilled birth attendants, access to Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) services including Antenatal, delivery, and post-natal care, as well as youth-friendly services to address or prevent early\/unplanned pregnancies among young people including the realization of their SRH Rights. The Projects under the RMNCAH program are in line with the national health strategies and policies. The projects strengthen the health system to deliver innovative quality services including strengthening the capacities of facility and community-based health care workers to provide better services. Amref, through different projects, improves the quality of health facilities by renovation\/constructing health facility structures, as well as equipping them with medical supplies and equipment. Amref, through RMNCAH program, also works towards improving water, hygiene, and sanitation in the health facilities by supplying incinerators, and placenta pits and ensuring the availability of running water in the maternity wards and theatres, and supporting water supplies, sanitation, and hygiene to underserved schools.<\/p>
