What we do

Since 2005, “action medeor International Healthcare” has been working to ensure an adequate, effective and, above all, high-quality supply of medicines in Tanzania.

Healthcare in rural regions: In addition to the medicine warehouses in Dar es Salaam and Masasi, a branch was opened in Makambako in March 2018. The town is located in the southern highlands, 650 km from Dar es Salaam. The rural southwest of the country is supplied directly from Makambako. Local partners can now also be supplied within one working day. For action medeor, this is a further step towards improving medical care, particularly in the remote areas of Tanzania.
Our partners: Our aid is supplied in co-operation with different church and secular organizations, religious communities, private initiatives and healthcare centers abroad. Based on many years’ experience, action medeor has built up a comprehensive network of facilities in the healthcare sector.
Reagent production: An innovative project has been underway at the Kibaha site, just outside Dar es Salaam, since 2023: action medeor has opened a production facility for laboratory reagents there. Reagents are chemical substances that are needed to improve diagnoses. The facility is the first of its kind in the whole of East Africa.
Pharmaceutical medical expertise: A further goal is the strengthening of local medical structures in developing countries. To achieve this goal action medeor runs training courses for pharmaceutical personnel and supports the local development and production in collaboration with local manufacturers. This is done to achieve a better availability of drugs and reduce the dependency of the developing countries on expensive imports.
