Inaccessible healthcare is a reality for the population of the remote villages in the Malinyi district. Since September of this year, a mobile practice has been travelling to the particularly remote villages and offering medical services.

For people living in the remote communities of the Malinyi District, healthcare is largely inaccessible. The greatest obstacles are the long distances and a lack of financial resources to pay for transport to the nearest health centre. Most people are farmers but they barely grow enough to feed their own families. Poverty and a lack of access to prevention, early detection and treatment of diseases are affecting the health of the whole population.

This is why SolidarMed is supporting the district health authorities in making basic primary healthcare accessible in these regions. A mobile clinic has been doing the rounds in particularly remote communities since late September. These specially-converted off-road vehicles are already in operation in the mountains of Lesotho, where they have proven very effective. The mobile clinic in Tanzania, which is financed by the Polarlys Foundation, is also furnished with essential equipment and medicines. It offers services for pregnant women, new mothers and toddlers, as well as diagnosis and treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and non-communicable diseases. It benefits some 25,000 adults, the same number of adolescents, and 18,000 children and newborn babies

District Manager Sebastian Waryoba and Project Manager Frida Akyoo unveil the mobile practice in Malinyi during the inauguration ceremony in October 2023.
The rural district of Malinyi is one of the poorest regions in Tanzania. Many people practise subsistence farming - and the yields are often barely enough to feed their own families.
Thanks to the mobile clinic, people in particularly remote villages have access to health information, prevention and treatment.
Thanks to the surgery on wheels, people in remote villages can receive medical care.
The all-terrain vehicle was specially converted and equipped with the necessary equipment and medication.
