AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> BENJAMIN Mkapa Hospital (BMH) Executive Director, Dr Alphonce Chandika, has called on new doctors to adhere to professionalism and the public service code of conduct to maintain a good image of the hospital.<\/p>\n

Addressing new doctors during an induction workshop at the hospital recently, Dr Chandika said BMH offered patient-centred care and so it should be maintained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a client-centred hospital\u2026it is the client who hired us. For us, a client is number one. Responding to a client badly is criminal (offence) here,\u201d he said while opening a workshop for 20 newly employed doctors.<\/p>\n

The new medics are among 1,000 doctors who have been employed following President John Magufuli\u2019s promise during a meeting with medical doctors in Dar es Salaam City early this year.<\/p>\n

Dr Chandika explained that being a public servant meant that a medic was hired by members of the public and that they should serve patients with great respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake sure you avoid taking a bribe from a patient. Do not imitate a bad culture or habit while discharging your duties,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dr Chandika further urged the new doctors to work diligently while complying with public service core values.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the servants of people and we should comply with BMH\u2019s motto of putting on the client\u2019s shoes, accountability and commitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For her part, BMH Director of Nursing Services Salome Kassanga urged the new doctors to discharge their duties while observing customer care, noting it was key to maintaining a good image of BMH.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had no good customer care we would have chased away customers. Customer care is vital while discharging out duties,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In March this year, BMH performed its 12th kidney transplant and the first kidney transplant using local doctors becoming the first hospital in the country to perform such a surgery without the support of overseas doctors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
