Who we are
D-tree International is a global digital health organization committed to improving lives by ensuring that everyone has access to quality primary healthcare in underserved areas. We do this by supporting governments to build and deploy digital tools for frontline health workers to improve their ability to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care. D-tree collaborates with governments to demonstrate these digital systems, builds the capacity of health workers, supervisors and leaders, and accompanies governments as they scale digitally enabled health systems nationally.
Since 2011, D-tree has partnered with the Zanzibar Ministry of Health to implement an innovative digital health program, Jamii ni Afya (“Community is health”), supporting Community Health Volunteers to provide health services within their communities. This program has consistently demonstrated improved health outcomes, a strengthened community health system, and increased use of data for decision-making. Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot to a national program and has demonstrated how digital technology can transform the quality of a health system.
The Zanzibar government has committed to adopting Jamii ni Afya at a national scale; integrating digitally enabled Community Health Volunteers into their formal Community Health Strategy. This represents the world’s first nationally scaled digital community health program, bringing high-quality health services to the doorsteps of all of Zanzibar. The digital health program will be fully scaled in July 2021, allowing D-tree to focus on program sustainability, quality and impact.
