TANZANIA is all set to become a hub of advanced cardiovascular treatment in East Africa and Sub- Saharan Africa. This has been possible with the expansion of the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI) at Mloganzila, which is intended to be a centre of excellence in the region.
The current facility at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) will be upgraded in services to treat patients from neighboring countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia, and the Comoros.
The new facility at Mloganzila will be inclusive of a special wing for children, which will be having a capacity between 280 and 350 beds. Presently, 128 beds are there at the current JKCI building, within the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH).
Prof Mohamed Janabi, The Executive Director of JKCI, said that this facility has attended 227,738 patients so far since its inception.
Among those patients, 1,025 underwent major and minor heart surgeries at the institute. By attending 1,025 heart surgeries, Tanzania has become the second country in Sub-Saharan Africa after Namibia, apart from South Africa, to conduct such big number of operations.
Prof Janabi said this at the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of China-Tanzania Cooperation held at the Embassy of China in Dar es Salaam. Here the Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Dr Augustine Mahiga was the chief guest.
“All the drawings and proposal of the new hospital have been completed and submitted to the government of China. We are highly positive that they (Chinese) will support us in this project just as they did for the current facility,” Prof Janabi stated.
