 Message From the Tanzania Country Director, Dr. Anja Giphart
I have been working with the Tanzanian program for the last four years. It is amazing what progress has been made. The president of Tanzania is very committed to the fight against HIV and that has made a big difference. We work with the Ministry for Health and Social Welfare at the national, regional, district, and facility levels. We also work with faith-based hospitals. My team is extremely dedicated and that is very inspiring. We will win this war as long as we stay focused and committed.
