Tanzania opens the largest and most advanced general hospital in East Africa

[BILLY ISISWE]

Mbona mlimleta Lissu huku kwetu. Kama kwenu kuna Hosp kubwakumbwa hivi. Mlishindwa vipi kumtibu Lissu?

 

[MK254]

Ukipima impact ya hizi specialized Hospitals ni kubwa mno zaidi ya Hayo uliyobainisha
Ocean Road cancer institute na Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute pamesaidia sana hata ndugu zako wakenya kutibiwa saratani na cardiovascular diseases kwa gharama nafuu badala ya kusafiri nje kufuata matibabu hayo,
Hapo Mloganzila pekee wameshaajiri vijana wengi sana waliokuwa mtaani, Benjamin Mkapa na JKCI as well,
Hayo ya mishahara ni kweli hatuwezi fanana, hata gharama za maisha Kenya zipo juu sana kuliko Tanzania.
Huku Tz fresh graduates wanaanzia $450, which is not very bad kwa Maisha ya Mtanzania.
Na pia nikukumbushe tu, haya siyo majengo like you said, ni fully equipped modernises health facilities, zimetuchukua dolari za kutosha kusimamisha.

Unatumia nguvu nyingi kujibu swali rahisi, tulia usome hoja yangu upya halafu uje tena halafu pia hilo LA kusema yenu ndio kubwa EAC sijui umetumia vigezo gani maana hadi hapo akiwemo mleta mada hakuna aliyeweka data za kuonyesha hiyo yenu ndio kubwa EAC.

mbona mada imebadilika kutoka namna nzuri ya kushauri jambo mpaka imekuwa utakatifu.

kuhusu waisrael nilikuwa natoa tu mfano wa jinsi Mungu alivyokuwa akiwalaumu wasio mtii. it was not a main topic to discuss.

rudi kwenye mada yetu ya kushauri achana nao waisrael wao watajijua wenyewe na mambo yao.

nahitimisha kwa kusema. tushauri tukiwa na mtazamo na mawazo chanya na si kulaumu kwa kauli za kinyonge.

Liver transplant inafanyika hapo Wakenya hawana haja ya kwenda India au South Africa

 

[Magonjwa Mtambuka]

kwa hiyo wewe kwa maoni yako tunaweza kuwa na huduma bora bila ya kuwa na modernised health infrastructure/facilities.

Achana naye karai huyo.

 

[TumainiEl]

I know many threads zimeshafunguliwa about this in Tanzanian forums ila niliona niwaletee habari hii ndugu zangu wakenya.
Karibuni Bongo mpate world class services!

Can accomodate over 570 inpatients and has a TZS 206 billion price tag!

Shime Dr Kikwete...... Yes u can

 

[eliakeem]

Tumia kichwa chako vizuri, sikusema infrastructure/facilities sio muhimu bali nilichelea kuwa tunashangilia na kujitapa mapema mno. We still have a work to do na kwenye hili si utani.

Mabasi ya mwendo kasi hayo hapo na barabara yake, still watu wanapanda kwa kugombania na wanakaa vituoni muda mrefu. Majengo ni hatua moja kubwa, lakini inapaswa kufuatiwa na VIFAA TIBA na WATABIBU na sio majigambo.

sijajua lengo lako ni nini!! yaani mtu umekuwa na mambo saba ya kutimiza. halafu umetimiza matano tena mazito na makubwa. kwa nini usijipongeze??!!!
tumejenga a state of the art hospital, eti tusifurahi kwa sababu hatujaleta vidonge vya panagra na viadol au gloves na manesi. kweli hiyo ni akili!!!???
do you know how much really cost to put such a structure.

Kaka ni upofu wa mawazo na kutojua uchumi vizuri ndiko kunakomfanya asifie mishahara mikubwa ya Kenya, 52% ya bajeti yote ya Kenya kwa mwaka inaishia kulipa mishara kwa watumishi wa uma, ambao ni asilimia 2% tu ya wakenya wote, ni 27% pekee ya bajeti ndiyo inayoelekezwa kwenye miradi ya maendeleo, wakati Tanzania 40% enaenda kwenye miradi ya maendeleo, mishahara yao haina usawa wowote, wanasiasa wanalipwa mara kumi zaidi ya professionals, matokeo yake ni
1)Malalamiko yasiokwisha miongoni mwa watumishi wa umma
2)Migomo ya kutoridhishwa na mishahara, kwa sababu wasomi wanajilinganisha na wanasiasa
3)Rushwa isiyokwisha, kila mtu anataka kulingana na wanasias
4)Mfumuko wa bei kuwa juu muda mwingi, kwa sababu ya mzunguko mkubwa wa pesa usiotokana wala kuendana na ongezeko la uzalishaji
5)Huduma za jamii kuwa duni kwa kukosa pesa, pesa nyingi inatumika kulipa mishahara
6) Kuongezeka kwa gap kati ya tajiri na masikini

52% ya pato la taifa kutumika kwa 2% ya Wananchi hili pekee linadhihirisha Kenya ni nchi yenye watu wa namna gani, hakika hatuwezi kufanana ikiwa kuna watu wana mitazamo ya namna hii,
Ndio maana Kenya 46% wanaishi kwenye ufukara wa kutupwa and the Uhuruto thugs absolutely don't care about this..
Pathetic.

OK, kwa sasa tuzungumzie haya mjengo na vifaatiba vya kisasa vilivyosimikwa hapa, hayo yako mengine hayakuhusiana na huu Uzi.

Kenya is the most ruthless economy in Africa, this is according to Dr.David Ndii ambaye kwa viwango vya kidunia wamemuka nafasi ya 26 katika orodha ya best economists in the world, huyu ni mkenya lakini hawampendi kwa sababu anashabikia NASA, ila anasema umekweli, huyu jamaa ana akili ni hatari, angekuwa Tanzania, Magufuli angempa kitengo muhimu sana

A big building called a hospital with no competent staff and equipment is akin a big modern stadium without players. This thread is a sham and has failed at its inception...upuuzi mtupu hata tunajua Tundu Lissu hayupo in that majestic monument.

 

[Earth]

. . . MNH successfully conducts first kidney transplant

THE health sector in the country, this week, opened a new chapter after doctors successfully performed the first kidney transplant, to a 30-year old woman at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH).

1 Comment
This is the first ever live-related organ transplantation to be performed in Tanzania and one of the most significant milestones in the country’s medical history.

Minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Ms Ummy Mwalimu said yesterday that patients with kidney failure will now be handed a lifeline, after the national hospital introduced low-cost transplants.

Ms Mwalimu said for years, the government has been spending at least 2.8bn/- for at least 35 patients, who have been transported abroad for kidney transplant annually.

“This should go down in the history of this country’s health sector, the government is very proud of our specialists and all health officials here at MNH and the whole country at large,” said Ms Mwalimu.

The kidney transplantation surgery was carried out on November 21, this year, by MNH specialists in collaboration with BLK Super Specialty Hospital from New Delhi, India.

The team of surgeons, nephrologists, anaesthesiologists, nurses and technicians from both MNH and BLK performed the historical surgery to a woman who was suffering from end stage kidney disease and was on haemodialysis for over a year.

The kidney donor was her 27-year old brother who selflessly donated his organ to save the life of his sister. Ms Mwalimu said the successful kidney transplantation opens a new chapter in offering quality services for kidney patients.

She said that the government has been spending between 80m/- and 100m/- for transporting abroad and covering treatment bills for one patient. She added that the introduction of kidney transplantation services in the country will enable many Tanzanians to access treatment at low cost.

However, according to information released yesterday, only 21m/- has been spent on the recent successful kidney transplantation surgery at MNH.

“We have been sending few patients abroad for kidney transplantation due to limited budget; we were paying between 80m/- and 100m/- per patient, thus with availability of this service at MNH, many Tanzanians will be easily attended,” she said.

The Minister said that before carrying out the historical kidney transplant at MNH, the government throught the Attorney General (AG)’s office formed a regulation, which was published in the government gazzete on June 30, 2017. She said the government is in the process to form a law that will enable body parts transplant.

“It is illegal for someone to offer parts of his/ her body to another person without following procedures, the government is currently working on such laws,” she said.

According to Ms Mwalimu, MNH is looking forward to perform kidney transplant to other four patients in January, 2018. Earlier, the MNH Executive Director, Prof Lawrence Mseru said the hospital offers dialysis services to at least 200 patients. He said the hospital has increased the number of beds for providing dialysis services from 17 to 42.

“This means that patients who suffer chronic kidney failure can also be treated temporarily here at the facility before arrangements are made for their transplant surgery,” he noted.

He said MNH sent 20 officials to BLK in India, for a three-month training in kidney transplantation. He added that physical infrastructure, which included construction and rehabilitation of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rooms, operation rooms and others were set in place at MNH in collaboration with BLK experts.

“We involved various institutions in this project; these were MNH, Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI), Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI), Chief Chemist Office and Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) - these institutions participated fully and invested money in this area,” he noted.

According to Prof Mseru, after the successful kidney transplant surgery, he is confident Tanzanians could use internal revenues to carry out various huge projects.

“I am asking my fellow Tanzanians to trust us; I would like to tell them that we are doing a good job, MNH has competent and skilled specialists who are capable of performing kidney transplant without any problem,” he said.

According to Prof Mseru, MNH is set to have another kidney transplant session in January and that the number of patients is set to increase. “We want to assure the public that the second session will send a signal that the process is sustainable,” he said.

The Director and Senior Consultant at the Department of Nephrology and Renal Transplant at BLK Super Specialty Hospital, Dr Sunil Prakash said there is need to maintain the team that has received training on kidney and body parts transplant.

He said MNH must strengthen the programme and there must be a constant collaboration between MNH and BLK. “MNH has a wonderful people, there is need to build confidence to enable them perform their duties successfully,” he said.

A total of 400 patients attend dialysis services in various hospitals across the country including MNH, which offers the said service to 200 patients.

Hiyo haitoshi, maana hujaleta chochote tulinganishe, hata tukiamua kulinganisha dushe langu na lako, itakua lazima kila mmoja alichomoe la kwake kutoka ndani ya suruali halafu tuanze kudadavua kwa kulinganisha, lakini hauwezi kufungia lako ndani na kujitambia eti ndio kubwa zaidi.
Mumeanzisha uzi kwa kujitambia bila kuweka facts kwanini iwe ndio bora Afrika Mashariki na Kati, maana hiyo title ndio ya Kenya, uchumi mkubwa Afrika Mashariki na Kati, na haijatokea ikachukuliwa na viinchi vilivyotuzunguka.

Na pia tuangalie mengine kama uwiano wa madaktari kwa idadi ya raia
Kiwango cha chini cha mishahara kwa madaktari
Uwiano wa mahospitali kwa idadi ya raia

And most important of them all, we look at health expenditure per capita, hayo mengine yote ni bla bla.

Hili povu sijawahi kukutana nalo tangu nimezaliwa, pole sana kwa kuumia ndugu yangu, ila ujiandae kwa sababu next year tunakushindilia msumari mwingine wa airport. This is the biggest and Modern Hospital, not building, it has the most up to date equipments some of which are not available even in europe, you are warmly welcome just as a tourist to see what I mean.

Mwisho wa yote utoaji wa huduma bora za afya hupimwa kwa kuangalia life expectant ya raia wa nchi husika, kama unatoa huduma za afya lakini umri wa kuishi hauongezeki basi ujue unapoteza pesa zako bure, Tanzanians live longer than Kenyans
