The Health and Insurance Management Services Organization (HIMSO) is a local Tanzanian Non-Government Organization established and registered in 2012 to complement the
government’s efforts in providing comprehensive quality health care coverage to the needy population.
HIMSO aims to drive healthcare enhancement interventions as well as provide technical expertise for the development of social protection innovations, particularly micro-health
insurance through Public Private Partnership. HIMSO was formed with the support of CIDR (Centre for International Development and Research), a French based International NGO,
which has promoted from 2002 to 2008 Self-Managed Health Insurance Schemes (SMHIS) in Mbozi and Kyela involving Community Health Fund Users Associations (CHFuA). Currently, HIMSO is providing technical support to Songwe region for the professional management of the Improved Community Health Fund (iCHF). HIMSO is also implementing the Emergency Transport System (ETS, Dharura Fasta) in Busokelo, Rungwe (Mbeya region), Mbozi and soon in Ileje (Songwe region).
