Now you know that Tanzania is a sovereign state,
Kama WHO walitaka Tz ilete sampuli Kenya atleast you may be learning something, I remember mlivyokuwa mnasema only Kenya can test COVID-19 in East Africa.

Na vipi mbona WHO haija recognize any of these facilities?

Yani hata test ya ebola tu,WHO ilikua inawaambia mtume hizo samples Kenya ambako kuna WHO accreditade facility, hapa hatuongelei research, tunangelea kupima tu! hizo BSL3 zenu zilikua wapi??

A ONE HEALTH Virtual Centre that links academic and research institutions in Southern Africa, which deal with infectious diseases of humans and animals, in an innovative partnership with world-renowned centres of research in high income countries.

Especially the University of London Colleges that constitute the London International Development Centre (LIDC) including the Royal Veterinary College – RVC – and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine -LSHTM. Other partnerships include collaboration with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), other institutions in the USA, UK and Asia.

This collaboration is further reinforced at the national level by forming national virtual centres for infectious diseases known as National Centres for Infectious Disease Surveillance (NatCIDS). Collectively, the NatCIDS form the core of SACIDS.

The Headquarters of SACIDS is located at the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Morogoro, Tanzania.

About Us - SACIDS

None of your BSL3 labs have been acreditade by WHO, hio ni sawa na kusema mko na 7 star hotel ishirini wakati zote ishirini haziko ISO certified au approved by an equivalent hotel standards body.

Sasa kama WHO inasema mmpeleke sample zenu za ebola nchi nyengine, unafikiri mtaruhusiwa kufanya research na live samples za ebola ! you must be dreaming

Coronavirus - Tanzania: Drawing on Ebola readiness to tackle COVID-19

Content provided by Last updated: 10/04 - 07:14
Like many African countries now making use of Ebola and Influenza preparedness to step up their COVID-19 response, Tanzania is tapping into the skills of health workers already knowledgeable in infectious disease control, established influenza sentinel surveillance system and repurposing facilities to tackle the new virus. When the tenth Ebola outbreak erupted in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2018, Tanzania trained 2400 health workers. Training sessions initially planned for Ebola were reviewed to include COVID-19. More than 300 of them have now been retrained to join the frontline ranks of the country’s COVID-19 battle.

In regions that had been identified as being at high risk of Ebola, rapid response teams were formed and trained, and authorities identified isolation areas at specific health facilities in each district and health workers trained to manage those units and handle suspected cases. The health workers and the resources are now proving critical in COVID-19 response.

In addition, structures such as isolation units in district health facilities set up for Ebola preparedness are now being turned into COVID-19 units. All the country’s 26 regions have been instructed to designate isolation areas for potential COVID-19 infection, while health worker training in patient triage for Ebola readiness now counts among the assets in curbing the spread of the new coronavirus. “It is very critical to empower health care workers with the right information,” said Dr Nemes Iriya, in charge of Case Management at World Health Organization in (WHO) in Tanzania.

WHO Tanzania is working with the Ministries of Health in mainland Tanzania and in Zanzibar to build the capacity of health workers on clinical care, improving infection prevention, laboratory testing and other prevention measures. A total of 182 facilities have been designated to be able to isolate and treat COVID-19 in all district councils. The government has also identified 26 regional referral facilities to be capacitated to provide critical care. Most of the referral facilities already have staff trained in advanced care for Ebola, which included critical care.

Angelina Malugu, a nurse who was recently trained on handling COVID-19 patients, said learning about the type of personal protective equipment needed for COVID-19 was crucial. “I was worried because I did not know how to distinguish COVID-19 from Ebola in terms of my safety.” “We still had gaps in knowledge,” Said Mohamed, a junior doctor at the main hospital in Pemba island, recounted during a training session on response to the new virus that was first reported in Tanzania on 16 March. More health workers have been trained through sessions organized by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations.

Getting the right messages out
The government has also intensified public health education, working with WHO, UNICEF, religious leaders and telecommunications firms to provide facts and debunk rumours about COVID-19. The COVID-19 response has been taken to a higher level, coordinated through the disaster committees and the task force chaired by the Prime Minister. Disaster committees have structures at national, regional, district and village level.

Public health officials and key government officials, including the President and Prime Minister, as well as religious leaders have featured on national TV and popular radio programmes to speak about the disease. Handshake greetings and crowds are avoided as much as possible – fewer buses during rush hour makes crowd-shunning difficult. “I’m doing all I can to make sure that I stay safe from any possibilities of getting the infection. I was worried … when I heard there is a case in Tanzania,” said Ashura Magongo, a resident of Dar es Salaam.

Columbus Masenga, a Dar es Salaam mechanic, said he had never used a mask or a hand sanitizer in his life until recently. “It sounded weird to hear that I must clean my hands with something that I do not know about. I bought one for my wife to keep in her handbag, but we are using soap and water at home. I think this new disease has come to force everyone to observe personal hygiene. When I got home one night my six-year-old did not hug me. He said, ‘daddy don’t touch me’,” Masenga said.

Tanzania has also made quarantine mandatory for arrivals, both national and foreigners, with travellers quarantined in designated hotels for 14 days. Large public gatherings – community meetings, rallies, sports and entertainment – were banned for a month on 17 March. Schools and universities have also been shut for a month.

ungesoma basi hiyo report imebidi nikutumie kuonyesha Tanzania ilikuwa na capacity y kupima na kuhudumia wagonjwa wa Ebola kutohitaji kutuma sample nje ya nchi! Na kama ungsoma zaidi ungeona kuna hospitali 26 nchini zenye uwezo wa ku-provide critical care ukiachia mbali 126 centers for quarantine!

Hii tovuti nilionyeshwa na daktari wa watoto pale hospitali kuu ya KNH Nairobi tulipokua tumempeleka mtu flani tunae husiana alikua na mimba ya mtoto ambaye ana shimo kwa moyo (heart murmur) , kulikua na paedatric surgeon alikekua ametembelea KNH (visiting surgion) kutoka SA na nilimuuliza huyo daktari wa watotot hapo KNH tutaamini vipi huyo daktari wa kutoka SA kama anaweza kufanya huo upasuaji (corrective surgery).
hapo ndo alinionyesha hio tovuti na akaniambia hio ndo tovuti madaktari wa Africa hutumia kutafuta madaktari spesheli waku consult au kufanya referals, nikamtafuta huyo daktari hapo na nikaona alisomea university gani na anafanya kazi hospitali gani huko SA ..etc kwahivyo hio tovuti ndo ni kama 'Google' ya kutafuta madaktari

Uache ufala hiyo page inaonyesha list of surgeons who r members to that medpages! As far as i know Tanzania has over 350 surgeons!

as for nuclear medicine scientists Tanzania having the only Atomic Agency radiochemistry lab in Africa can never have only one nuclear medicine scientist! FYI Tanzania has had nuclear medicine services since 1980! How many do u in a simple search below? 👇

Ifakara Health Institute
Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) is a leading health research organization in Africa, with a strong track record of developing, testing and validating innovations for health. We are driven by core strategic mandate for research, training and services. The institute’s work spans across the full research lifecycle from basic science to policy and translation.

IHI work is organized in three research departments, six research units and seven technical units. The research departments are: Environmental Health & Ecological Sciences, Interventions & Clinical Trials, and Health Systems, Impact Evaluation & Policy.

The research units are: Grants and Contracts, Training & Capacity Building, Laboratories, Data Systems and Platforms, Vector Control Product Testing, and Chronic Diseases Clinics. The technical units, which are supporting research (our primary activity) are: Internal Audit, Knowledge Management and Communications, Finance Management, Human Resources, Procurement Management, Branch Management and Information & Communication Technology. We have three major offices in Tanzania (Ifakara, Bagamoyo & Dar es Salaam).

Ifakara Health Institute | IHI

The beginning: A visit to Ifakara by zoologist Dr. Rudolf Geigy from Switzerland in 1949 marked the beginning of over 50-year history of IHI. Geigy [1920-1995], a scientist from the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel, sought a fieldwork location for researching on tropical diseases. Eight years later, he opened the Swiss Tropical Institute Field Laboratory (STIFL) there.

The name “Ifakara” refers to “a place you go to die”, a reflection of the historically high burden of disease in the area, before major control efforts started.

Transformation: In the years after the 1961 independence, STIFL played a central role in training medical officers who could serve the country after independence. The government mandated STIFL to play the role through the Rural Aid Centre, which was designed to undertake the assignment.

Tanzania adopted the nationalization policy in the late 1960s and early 1970s which championed transferring of public institutions into the hands of Tanzanians. The policy set the stage for the integration of STIFL into a government agency – National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) which was achieved some years later in 1990.

The following year, that’s is 1991, STIFL was renamed ‘Ifakara Centre’ and made an affiliate of NIMR. In 1996, it was made a trust and renamed, ‘Ifakara Health Research and Development Centre (IHRDC). This name lasted until 2008 when it was changed to the current one of ‘Ifakara Health Institute.

Flowering era: From the 1990s onward, IHI received an influx of funding and prestigious awards for excellence in health research. In 2008, it received the Prince of Asturias Award – a series of annual prizes awarded in Spain by the Prince of Asturias Foundation to individuals, entities or organizations from around the world who make notable achievements in the fields of sciences, humanities and public affairs. The aim is to encourage and promote scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of mankind’s universal heritage. In 2010, IHI received the (Tanzania) National Award for Science and Technology.

New Era: The first Tanzanian science director, Dr. Andrew Kitua, was appointed in 1993. His successors: Dr. Hassan Mshinda and Dr. Salim Abdulla, built strong teams that took the institute to the high level of excellence, extending operations of the institute to other regions.

The Institute’s name was simplified to "Ifakara Health Institute," abbreviated as “IHI” in 2008. The same year, Dar es Salaam Office, where IHI is currently headquartered, was openned.

In 2005, the institute extended its wings by opening a new branch in the Tanzania’s colonial era capital, Bagamoyo. And three years later, in 2012, Kingani Training Center and Clinical Trials facilities were built.

The sitting Chief Executive Director, Dr. Honorati Masanja, was appointed in 2016.

History of Health Research in Tanzania
The modern health research was introduced into the then Tanganyika (Tanzania) by the German Colonial government in the last quarter of the 19thCentury. During the early years of health research, the focus was on the major communicable diseases. Drs. Robert Koch and Gustav Giemsa were among the first scientists who will respectively be remembered for their contributions to the diagnosis of tuberculosis and malaria. After the World War 1, Tanganyika became a British Protectorate under the United Nations and the British continued with health research on specific disease problems to satisfy their need. It was during this post war period that institutionalised health research was initiated.

In 1922, the British Colonial Government established a Sleeping Sickness Service Unit in Tabora under the leadership of Dr. Frank Apted. The Unit was responsible for medical surveillance and treatment of sleeping sickness cases (Human African trypanosomiasis). In 1963 the Sleeping Sickness Unit was taken by the Ministry of Health of the Independent Tanganyika. The Unit which is now Tabora Research Centre is therefore the oldest Medical Research Unit in Tanzania.

In the Lake Victoria Zone, the British Colonial government launched researches on lymphatic filariasis with the establishment of the East African Medical Survey at Malya in 1947. The following year, (1948) a Filariasis Research Unit was opened in Mwanza. In 1954 the East African Medical Survey closed its offices in Malya and moved to Mwanza. In the same year the two units merged and acquired a new name, the East African Institute for Medical Research, under the East African High Commission.

Under the British Colonial and Welfare Scheme in 1949 an East African Malaria Unit (EAMU) was established at Ubwari, Muheza in northern Tanzania by Captain Dr. Bagster Wilson. In 1951, the Unit was moved to Amani in the East Usambara Mountains and was renamed East African Malaria Institute (EAMI) and became operational under the East African High Commission. In 1954, the EAMI was renamed the East African Institute of Malaria and Vector Borne Diseases (EAIMVBD).

After independence in 1961 and prior to the establishment of NIMR, public health research institutions in Tanzania were under the auspices of the East African Medical Research Council (EAMRC), established in 1957. Among the major objectives of the EAMRC included the recruitment of and training of indigenous research personnel from the member states of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. The EAMRC was also mandated to coordinate, set health research priorities, and submit research programmes, annual reports and financial statements. In 1968, the East African Medical Research Council established a Tuberculosis Investigating Unit (later National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory) in Dar es Salaam. In the mid-1970s, the Medical Research Council of UK established Helminthiasis Research Unit at Bombo Hospital in Tanga.

Following the collapse of the East African Community (EAC) in 1977, all the institutions established under the EAC were rendered non-functional. These included all health research institutions in the country, which were previously being administered by the East African Medical Research Council. The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania therefore decided to re-organize the health research centres into the National Institute for Medical Research. NIMR was empowered to take over all health research institutions in the country which until the demise of the East African Community in 1977, were administered by the East African Medical Research Council.

Huyo wa kwanza Tausi mbona hajajiita 'Dr" kama kweli yeye ni specialists wa nuclear medicine?

Huyo wa pili Dr. Patrick Ngoya wa Bugando medical center ndo huyo yuko kwa hio tovuti, lakini naona jina lake walikosea, badala ya Patrick wakaandika Peter na badala ya Ngoya wakaandika Ngoye

Na huyo Dr. Bashir Juma Nyangasa ambaye umesema ni vascular surgeon si vasclular surgeon bali ni Cardiovascular surgeion (big difference), So bado Tanzania haina Vascular surgeon...

Huyo Dr.Bashir ako hapo kwa tovuti chini ya category ya Cardiac and thoracic surgions

Kwa kifupi kama kuna specialists doctor hapo Tanzania na hayuko hapa kwa hii tovuti,fikiria mara mbili kabla kueka maisha yako mikononi mwake!

Once again, I am talking about research/experiments, not mere testing that someone has ebola or not, punguza ushamba! I only talked about testing one time when I wanted to show you if WHO doesnt even trust you with testing a sample for ebola, do you think they will trust you with experiments , in the name of looking for a cure, using live samples?

For example, Tanzania can conduct tests on radio active material (since you have Uranium) but you have not been accredited by IAEA do conduct experiments/research with high grade radio active materials. The moment you try experiment with live nuclear materials you will get sanctioned by the likes of US,UK like Iran and North Korea.... The same thing applied with WHO on conducting experiments with dangourous deadly viruses that have no cure without uproval by WHO..... na kama unabisha show me any research paper or publication from Tanzania where you were conductic research or animal experiments using live samples of deadly viruses that have no cure like ebola, Sers,mers...etc

The same thing applied with WHO on conducting experiments with dangourous deadly viruses that have no cure without uproval by WHO..... na kama unabisha show me any research paper or publication from Tanzania where you were conductic research or animal experiments using live samples of deadly viruses that have no cure like ebola, Sers,mers...etc

Research have standards too! n can be audited by ISO standards! Fool i know what i am talking, i am not ur level in understanding of stuffs! Keep claiming Mt Kilimanjaro is visible in Nairobi! Just to help u check for ISO 20252!
