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

“action medeor International Healthcare” was founded in 2005. 400 different products are stored and supplied to hospitals in the country. Today, the company has three medicine warehouses in Tanzania and 49 employees who also offer training in medical device technology and laboratory technology.

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.

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.

The team in Tanzania

A total of 49 employees now work at the three action medeor locations in Tanzania. For an overview of our colleagues on site, please visit the team page.
