Abstract
This analysis uses cause-specific mortality burden as a guide to setting future priorities for healthcare delivery in Tanzania. Malaria, pneumonia, anemia and HIV/AIDS mortality and morbidity dominate statistics, followed by a variety of neonatal and under-five problems such as low birth weight, birth injury and asphyxia. It is difficult for health systems to target the poor accurately. In all societies, poor people carry the heaviest burden of disease. Targeting major components of the Burden of Disease (BOD) can increase equity in resource allocation with more emphasis on the poor. This is a detailed examination of health and demographic indicators.
