Here at HIPZ, we're proud of the huge impact we have in Zanzibar. Over the years we've made healthcare more accessible to people across Zanzibar. We've trained more than 1000 healthcare workers and introduced new services from psychiatry to surgery in rural hospitals. We are a small charity and we make a big impact, focusing on creating sustainable, replicable change that is embedded in the local health system.
Right now, we are expanding our mental health project, training healthcare workers in newborn and maternal care, and improving facilities in hospitals. We've recently built the first Emergency Medicine Department outside of Stone Town, and a second was established in January 2023. We are also extending our work onto Pemba island for the first time, beginning to provide services to the 600,000 people who live there.
