Introduction The unique Tanzania Centre for Orthopaedic Technologists (TATCOT) for the English speaking countries in Africa, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1991. The German Technical Co-operation Agency (GTZ) laid the foundation stone of this remarkable development in Orthopaedic Technology on the 26th August, 1981 with the arrival of the first two expatriate teachers. The decision of the Ministry of Health, Tanzania with the co-operation and support of the Federal Republic of Germany, to build the Tanzania Training Centre for Orthopaedic Technologists, is today rewarded with an enormous increase in the profession in Tanzania itself and the other English speaking African countries.
