Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation Tanzania Explained
Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation Tanzania (CCBRT) is a Tanzanian healthcare NGO. It is one of Tanzania's largest providers of disability and rehabilitation services.[1] [2]
CCBRT works with the Tanzanian government to provide free and subsidized services to low-income Tanzanians in four core areas: ophthalmology; orthopedics and physical rehabilitation; plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery; and maternal, newborn and child health (including fistula).[3]
CCBRT was established in 1994.[4] In 2004 CCBRT started offering private services to help subsidize health care costs, and in 2018 a new private clinic building was opened.[3] Willibrod Slaa is the President of the Board and its CEO from 2006 to 2018 was Erwin Telemans. Brenda Msangi was appointed CEO in December 2018.[5]
