Dar es Salaam. A vaccine for cervical cancer will soon be available in Tanzania.Cervical cancer, which is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus, kills over 1,100 women in the country annually. US-based Merck and Company has pledged to donate jabs worth $5 million (about Sh8 billion), which can be used to vaccinate a total of 16,666 girls.

Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) Executive Director Twalib Ngoma made the revelation yesterday when briefing journalists on a charity walk scheduled for Saturday in Dar es Salaam. “We had a meeting recently in the city, and the director of Merck and Company promised that the firm will donate the vaccine,” he said.

He said that a single dose costs $100 (about Sh160,000) and a recipient is required to take three doses.

“This is very costly for the vast majority of Tanzanians,” Dr Ngoma said. He said the vaccine will be given to girls aged 9 to 13 who are yet to infected with the virus.

“It is recommended that young women should be vaccinated at that age because we believe that they at that stage are likely not to have acquired the cancer virus,” explained Dr Ngoma.

He said that ORCI needs a total of Sh25 billion per year to facilitate various costs associated with curbing all forms of cancer. “This can be used to train health workers and sensitize the public on the need to undergo check-ups because cancer treatment is highly associated with an early detection,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr Ngoma said that this Saturday’s charity walk will focus on raising awareness on breast cancer in Tanzania as well as raising funds to support breast cancer screening and treatment.

“Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda will grace the occasion in which we expect to raise about Sh32 million,” he said, adding that women who will attend the event will have a chance to get a free screening for for breast cancer.

BAK asante sana kwa taarifa;
Nimeona kama bei ni kubwa sana 160,000 x 3........ hii inaweza ikawa ni kwa ajili ya matajiri pekee yao.
Kuhusu umri pia nilijua ni for all women kumbe tena ni kwa kundi maalum.
............ Asante.

Mamndenyi hii Serikali ya MACCM imekurupuka tena kama ilivyokurupuka kwenye genetically Modified Food (GMO) kuviruhusu kuingizwa nchni kupitia kilimo bila kuangalia athari zake na maamuzi ya nchi nyingine mbali mbali ambazo wamevipiga marufuku vyakula hivi hasa katika nchi za Ulaya.

Hii vaccine pia kama ulivyoona kwenye hizo links hapo juu ina athari mbaya sana zinazoweza kusababisha ulema, ugumba na hata kifo, lakini hii Serikali haikuwa makini katika kuhakikisha usalama wa kinga hii na hivyo kukurupuka na kuruhusu kuingizwa nchini. Nina hakika kabisa Wazazi, Walezi, Ndugu, jamaa na marafiki wengi wakijua athari hizo wengi hawataruhusu mabinti kutumia hii kinga. Angalieni links nyingine hapa chini.

BAK tuendelee kuelimishana kuhusu kinga ya kansa;
Tuweke itikadi kando kidogo rafiki yangu.

Ujue nini; watoto wa matajiri ni lazima yatawakuta;
si unajua tena wake zenu wanavyojisikia shauri
ya hizo chenji zenu; wakanyeni mapema.

Mamndenyi hili halihusu mambo ya itikadi bali ni ukweli kwamba maamuzi ya kuruhusu hii kinga kuingia nchini yamefanywa na Serikali iloyopo madarakani bila utafiti wowote wa kujua athari za hii kinga.
