Abstract
This paper outlines the flows of private capital that lie behind the growth of the for-profit
pharmaceutical sector in Tanzania, and analyses the policy, access and equity challenges
posed by the shift to increasing private sector participation in medicine provision. The study was
implemented within the Regional Network for Equity in Health in East and Southern Africa
(EQUINET) by the Institute of Development Studies, University of Dar es Salaam, in a regional
programme co-ordinated by the Institute for Social and Economic Research, South Africa.
