Abstract
Sub-Saharan African countries, including Tanzania, have a high burden of chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) and limited capacity for the provision of services. Tanzania and other countries in the region have made significant improvements in the provision of services for patients with CKD, including hemodialysis. Few countries are offering kidney transplantation services, which is the definitive treatment for patients with CKD and kidney failure. This study was conducted to review the steps taken by Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) to establish a kidney transplan-
tation service in Tanzania.
