Current Needs

Strengthen the Arusha Pediatric & Maternal Care Centre (APMC)

As APMC continues to expand access to high-quality healthcare for children and families in northern Tanzania, several strategic investments will have an immediate and lasting impact on patient care and long-term sustainability.

1. Laboratory Equipment
A fully equipped laboratory will significantly enhance APMC’s ability to diagnose and treat patients quickly and accurately. Beyond improving patient care, the laboratory will serve the broader Arusha community, creating an important source of revenue that helps sustain clinic operations and reduce dependence on outside funding.

Your support will help:

Improve diagnostic capabilities for children and families
Reduce delays in treatment
Generate sustainable income to support ongoing healthcare services
Expand access to quality laboratory services throughout the community

2. Solar Power and Backup Inverter System
Reliable electricity is critical for healthcare delivery, yet power outages remain common due to an unstable electrical grid. A solar energy system with battery backup will provide consistent power for patient care while protecting vital medical equipment and vaccine storage.

Your support will help:

Maintain the vaccine cold chain during outages
Ensure uninterrupted patient care
Reduce operating costs over time
Increase the clinic’s resilience and sustainability

3. Oxygen for Urgent Care Services
Access to oxygen can mean the difference between life and death for children experiencing respiratory distress. APMC’s urgent care center regularly treats conditions such as asthma attacks, pneumonia, severe infections, and other emergencies that require immediate oxygen therapy.

Your support will help:

Save lives during medical emergencies
Improve outcomes for children with respiratory illnesses
Ensure critical care is available when families need it most

4. Staff Education and Professional Training
Healthcare outcomes improve when medical professionals have access to ongoing education and skills development. Investing in the training of APMC’s physicians, nurses, laboratory staff, and clinical personnel strengthens the quality of care delivered to every patient.

Your support will help:

Advance clinical knowledge and best practices
Improve patient safety and outcomes
Build local healthcare capacity
Equip healthcare professionals to serve their communities for years to come

Together, these investments will strengthen APMC’s ability to provide compassionate, high-quality healthcare while building a sustainable foundation for the future. Every contribution helps create healthier futures for children and families across Tanzania.
