EcoDesign Architects Partners with IHI and Regional Hospitals to Transform Neonatal Care in Tanzania
Transforming neonatal care in Tanzania demands strong partnerships and a shared vision. Through the NEST 360 Program, EcoDesign Architects has formalized collaborative agreements with the Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) and each of the three healthcare facilities through separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs):
- Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital
- Mwananyamala Regional Referral Hospital
- Amana Regional Referral Hospital
These agreements highlight a tailored, facility-specific approach to improving neonatal infrastructure, ensuring that the unique needs of each hospital are addressed.
A Partnership in Action
The partnership leverages the combined expertise of EcoDesign Architects, IHI, and the individual facilities to deliver:
- Detailed designs for neonatal wards
- Comprehensive tender preparation
- Supervision services during renovation and construction phases
This collaborative framework ensures that all processes align with the highest standards of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Facility-Specific Focus
Under separate MOUs, each hospital will undergo bespoke renovations and improvements to meet its unique operational challenges and patient care needs. This initiative reinforces a commitment to ensuring optimal neonatal care across regions.
A Brighter Future for Neonatal Care
The NEST 360 Program exemplifies how strategic partnerships can elevate healthcare infrastructure and outcomes. By collaborating with EcoDesign Architects, IHI, and the hospitals, this initiative is not just building neonatal wards but fostering trust, innovation, and resilience in Tanzania’s healthcare system.
