Abstract

The accessibility of Tanzania’s health service has been challenged with inadequate fund, shortage of fully trained health staff in the hospitals, poor communication and transport infrastructure. These challenges have been hindering the development plans of Tanzania’s health system including The Millennium Development Goal. All of these challenges have been associated with the fact that, Tanzania is still a developing country with a small budget to financing all of the development plans. Therefore, this review article covers these challenges with broader analysis of data and also recommend Tanzania government to take major steps in resolving these challenges.
