Benjamin Mkapa Hospital to perform heart surgery
WEDNESDAY APRIL 28 2021
By The Citizen Reporter

Dodoma. The Benjamin Mkapa Hospital is set to start performing heart surgery, this is after the hospital has purchased medical equipment for the delicate surgery.
The hospital's executive director, Dr Alphonce Chandika, made the remarks during a visit by Israeli Ambassador Oded Joseph to the Sh2 billion state-of-the-art emergency building.
Dr Chandika said so far the government has procured equipment, with some more expected to arrive later for cardiac surgery, adding that they have held talks with the ambassador to see if it is possible to build another intensive care unit (ICU), as they currently have only six beds for the critically ill patients.
"We have started cardiovascular services here, but there is a side of heart surgery and we have started buying equipment, but I have asked the ambassador to connect us with other stakeholders who specialize in heart disease to cooperate with us in order for the hospital to start performing the surgery," said Dr. Chandika.
For his part, Ambassador Joseph said Tanzania and Israel are in a position to save lives and expand the scope of cooperation in key sectors such as health to reduce unavoidable deaths.
Referring to the tragedy of President John Magufuli’s death, Joseph congratulated President Samia Suluhu Hassan for being sworn in as president.

Exactly angalia hospitali ya mfano ya wilaya ya Ilolo
nje ya Nairobi huduma za afya ni majanga! Halafu ujue hospitali nilizoweka hapa sijajumuisha zile za taasisi za kidini ama binafsi! Kenya hata zile za binafsi state of the art zipo mainly Nairobi! Muacheni JPM jamani ashukuriwe anachofanya district hospitals zaidi ya 80 (67+ phase II) si kitu cha mzaha hata kidogo!
Mbali ya hayo kuna several pharmaceutical plants coming up!

SUA rats to sniff COVID-19 infection

SUA rats to sniff COVID-19 infection
RESEARCH in the employment of rats to sniff landmines, TB bacteria and other hidden pathogens will soon enable the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) to field the rats to detect coronavirus infections.
Dr Georges Mgode, a senior researcher and manager of the SUA-APOPO rat research unit said this to visitors to the SUA pavilion at the 2021 national scientific, technological and innovative competition here yesterday.
“We believe the rats can detect corona viruses and infection with significant levels of accuracy as in the cases of TB bacteria. Each pathogen or bacteria has its particular smell and each disease has a particular smell, so rats can do that work,” he said,
The unit has prepared a paper to seek funds to enable the start of teaching the rats, and when the money is available the unit will start working, especially on people with the virus but without symptoms.
“This will be of great benefit as for now tests for Covid-19 are costly, with imported equipment, but by using rats it will be cheaper and minimize complications related to waiting for results from samples taken,” he stated.
Dr Mgode said there are many scientists in developed countries who, after seeing achievements in what rats could accomplish, made experiments by using a fake (electronic) nose for sniffing in order to detect bacteria, but they were not successful in like manner as what SUA achieved with the rats.
He was happy for endorsement of the use of rat technology in government hospitals on prior agreement that results by rat tests be confirmed by other technologies before the hospitals can proceed with the medication.
The unit was encouraged with diminishing doubts about the use of rats to detect TB bacteria, with the discussion not focusing on using dogs for the same purpose, he stated.
Weapon used in obtaining positive results will vary but when the disease is eventually eradicated, that’s when issues of the best technology will be sorted out completely, he said.
SUA-APOPO Project uses trained African Giant Pouched Rats, nicknamed ‘hero rats’ to detect tuberculosis (TB) by scent in clinical samples in Tanzania and Mozambique, the researcher added.
