As Tanzania attempts to get healthcare to all corners of the country, The Elders – an independent group of global leaders co-founded by Nelson Mandela and working together for peace and human rights – paid an official visit to the country.

They were in Tanzania to offer help and advice to the government in preparation for what they hope will be a set of reforms culminating in universal healthcare.

In this month’s Global development podcast, Lucy Lamble visits Tanzania to explore efforts to bolster the country’s health coverage. She is joined by Graça Machel, human rights advocate, former minister and elder; Mary Robinson, former Irish president, UN high commissioner for human rights and elder; and Robert Yates, project director of the Universal Health Coverage Policy Forum at London’s Chatham House.

Presented by Lucy Lamble; produced by Gabriela Jones
