About the Organization

Thamini Uhai, formerly World Lung Foundation, is a Tanzanian non-governmental organization that has partnered with the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania since 2008. The organization is dedicated to reducing maternal and early neonatal mortality and strengthening health systems in underserved rural areas.

From 2008 to 2019, Thamini Uhai worked with Bloomberg Philanthropies to expand quality Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care services. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Local Government Authorities, the organization piloted and scaled birth companionship as a core element of respectful maternity care across 27 health facilities in Kigoma, Katavi, Geita, and Mwanza Regions.

About the Program

Thamini Uhai has received funding for the implementation of the Partnership Program for Comprehensive and Integrated Maternal and Newborn Health Improvement ("Mjamzito na Mtoto Salama") in Tanzania. This is a five-year program implemented in three regions of Tanzania Mainland.

The initiative is jointly supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Gates Foundation and will be implemented in two phases:

• Phase 1: September 2025 to June 2027
• Phase 2: July 2027 to June 2030

The program operates in Geita, Katavi, and Kigoma regions and will contribute to accelerating 2030 SDG targets by improving maternal and newborn health outcomes in Tanzania. This will be achieved through strengthening the delivery of quality and respectful Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC), including postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management, antenatal care, and comprehensive newborn care, with particular emphasis on scaling up care for small and sick newborns.
