Testimonials
The Touch Foundation has had the support of a wide range of partners and stakeholders throughout our involvement with the medical center and university in Mwanza, Tanzania.
"Touch’s work with the Bugando University College of Health Sciences as well as across Tanzania is critical to our shared goal of increasing the number of dispensaries and health centers across my country."
"They are filling a gap that is critical to the success of medical care in this country. We just wish there were more Touches around. Because they understand that in order to really win the war on HIV/AIDS, the war on malaria, to lower maternal mortality – which is one of the highest in the world – we have to have a better medical infrastructure, and that means hospitals, that means clinics, that means doctors, and that means doctors’ aides. And they are doing all those things."
“The [Tanzanian] government immediately embraced this program and saw where it fit their needs. Everybody from the Prime Minister and the President on down, know exactly what Touch is doing and are very appreciative of their efforts.”
“Touch has been assisting us in organizing things in the whole center. In putting the relationship between the hospital and the college together and creating harmony between the two institutions.”
