To be the right forum for health development partners and stakeholders to discus, analyze, and make calls of action toward health coverage in the rural populations of Tanzania and Africa.

To collaborate and  bring together all the health development partners and stakeholders to raise their voice for underprivileged voiceless groups in the rural areas of Tanzania and Africa as well as recognizing and honoring the outstanding contribution from the primary health service providers in the remote areas of Tanzania and Africa through provisions of special awards to be known as Tanzania Rural Health Summit Awards to be given annually every year as determined by the Summit Committee.
