Mwenyekiti wa NCCR-MAGEUZI azungumzia hali ya tishio kwa afya-ya-umma (public health ), umasikini na ukosefu wa ajira kwa vijana Tanzania
Mwenyekiti wa chama cha NCCR - MAGEUZI Mh. James Mbatia kwa kina atoa angalizo juu ya gonjwa kubwa lililo janga la kidunia la corona covid-19 na taarifa kuwa wataalamu wametoa taarifa za kiuchunguzi zenye ushahidi wa kitabibu kuwa wiki mbili zijazo Tanzania itapata changamoto kubwa ambayo nchi haijawahi kuiona toka gonjwa la corona kuikumba dunia.
Mwenyekiti wa NCCR - MAGEUZI ameitaka Serikali ya Tanzania ikubali serikali ilijikwa huko nyuma 2019 / 2020 ila haikuanguka katika kukabiliana, hivyo kujikwaa huko iwe chachu ya kuanza kunyanyuka tena kufanya kampeni kali kuelimisha umma na kutuma pesa, ruzuku, vifaa tiba na matayarisho makubwa kukabiliana na janga la UVIKO linalokuja. Serikali isimamishe miradi mingi kwa muda ili fedha nyingi zielekezwe kukabiliana na tishio lililo dhahiri la Covid -19 Delta Variant.

The largest vaccine procurement and supply operation ever is underway – and UNICEF is leading it on behalf of the Global COVAX Facility.
We are working to ensure that all countries participating in the Facility (currently 190) have equitable access to 2 billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2021.
How?
Through the COVAX Facility – led by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, WHO and CEPI – UNICEF is working with manufacturers and partners on the procurement of COVID-19 vaccine doses, as well as freight, logistics and storage. In collaboration with the PAHO Revolving Fund, we are leading the procurement and delivery for 92 low- and lower middle-income countries while also supporting procurement for more than 97 upper-middle-income and high-income nations. Together, these represent more than four-fifths of the world’s population.
When?
When a safe and effective vaccine is approved by WHO, UNICEF will begin the operation to transport vaccines from manufacturers to countries. The initial 2 billion doses are intended to protect frontline health care and social workers, as well as high risk and vulnerable people.
Why UNICEF?
As the largest single vaccine buyer in the world, UNICEF has a unique and longstanding expertise in procurement and logistics to help children in need. UNICEF procures more than 2 billion doses of vaccines annually for routine immunization and outbreak response on behalf of nearly 100 countries. We are the main procurement partner of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and have helped reach more than 760 million children with life-saving vaccines over the last 20 years, preventing more than 13 million deaths.
In vaccinating health workers globally, we ensure that health care workers can get back to work so that children and their mothers get the critical health care they need - vaccinations, treatment of malnutrition and other deadly diseases such as malaria and diarrhea, as well as obstetric, prenatal and post-natal care along with services for newborns.
These are critical services without which millions of children’s lives are at stake given the widespread disruptions to essential services during lockdowns. We cannot let one disease lead to outbreaks of other diseases that could reverse years of progress in child health

We are monitoring multiple variants; currently there are four notable variants in the United States:
B.1.1.7 (Alpha): This variant was first detected in the United States in December 2020. It was initially detected in the United Kingdom.
B.1.351 (Beta): This variant was first detected in the United States at the end of January 2021. It was initially detected in South Africa in December 2020.
P.1 (Gamma): This variant was first detected in the United States in January 2021. P.1 was initially identified in travelers from Brazil, who were tested during routine screening at an airport in Japan, in early January.
B.1.617.2 (Delta): This variant was first detected in the United States in March 2021. It was initially identified in India in December 2020.
These variants seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, which may lead to more cases of COVID-19. An increase in the number of cases will put more strain on healthcare resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths READ MORE : Variants of the virus updated 28 June 2021 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
