Even in the countries where the majority of the population lives in rural areas, the resources are concentrated in the cities. All countries have difficulties with transport and communication, and they all face the challenge of shortages of doctors and other health professionals in rural and remote areas.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Tanzania, like many countries of the developing world, is faced with the challenge of providing adequate health services to all her people. However, available national Resources, especially finance, are insufficient to implement this mammoth task.
Within the XXXX village there is only one government clinic located near this area but it does not address all the health needs services. The Roads in this area are not well passable thus during the night it is difficult to find Transport to access mother and child health services. As a result many expecting women deliver at home or on the way without being attended by health personnel. This causes a High incidence of child mortality.
Our current infrastructure is not large enough to meet the rising demand for medical services in both villages. We currently have a one-room clinic with only one hospital bed, where we serve 65-75 people a day. We are also faced with an insufficient drug supply in the dispensary. The dispensary lacks a modern laboratory to facilitate medical investigation for effective holistic clinical management, mortgage, X-Ray machine, Ultrasound machine, Ambulance, wards for admitting out patients, theatre for carrying operations, and a secured environment which is fenced.
