Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>TMJ Hospital on Monday launched a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) \u2013as part of its strategic and long-term plan to complement the government\u2019s efforts to improve delivery of healthcare services.<\/p>\n

The equipment, which is used in radiology to generate images of body organs, was launched at TMJ\u2019s Super Specialised Polyclinic in Temeke District.<\/p>\n

Gracing the launching of the MRI, Deputy Minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Dr Godwin Mollel, said although the government had made great strides in the construction of hospitals, health centres and dispensaries and in the provision of health services not every part of the country had so far been reached.<\/p>\n

In his speech read on his behalf by Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI) Executive Director, Prof Mohamed Janabi, the deputy minister insisted that Tanzanians need better health services and that the government will keep improving the quality of healthcare services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are still many Tanzanians who need better health services, especially those living in rural areas. The government alone cannot cover them all\u2026we need cooperation with private health providers.\u201d Dr Mollel called on private health providers to invest more in modern health infrastructure and health technologies to facilitate the implementation of national health strategies which aimed at making health services accessible to all Tanzanians, even those living in rural areas.<\/p>\n

He explained that private health providers\u2019 investment in modern health technologies was crucial as they would help the sixth phase government solve many health problems which faced many Tanzanians.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we are witnessing the launch of this modern MRI, which uses high-tech…I urge other health stakeholders to invest in similar medical equipment to help Tanzanians, especially the poor,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dr Mollel said the government would continue cooperating with private health providers and provide them with needed assistance to ensure Tanzanians accessed better health services.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been told private health providers are facing several challenges related to tax and others\u2026all these are noted and we will address them so that those facing these challenges may get a breathing space,\u201d added Dr Mollel.<\/p>\n

For his part, TMJ Hospital Managing Director, Dr Tayabali Jafferji, said the launch of MRI was part of TMJ Hospital\u2019s long-term strategy to support the government\u2019s efforts to provide better health services in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government cannot do everything alone\u2026we as health stakeholders must contribute to the health sector so that the government may achieve its objectives, especially the provision of better health services,\u201d said TMJ chief.<\/p>\n

He commended the government\u2019s plan to provide Universal Health Coverage to all citizens, describing it as \u201ca turning point in the healthcare journey of our nation which will enable healthcare access to millions of under-served families across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to working with the government for this programme, helping to ensure that the highest quality care reaches the citizens on a sustained basis, marks a pivotal shift towards preventive healthcare and reaffirms what we at TMJ have always been saying – keeping the nation\u2019s citizens healthy, helps the country realize their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking, TMJ Chief Executive Officer, Parul Chahhya said: \u201cas a nation, let us be committed to the health and well-being of our people, he said adding; \u201cHealth for All\u2019 demands that we ensure universal health insurance coverage, put in place comprehensive programs for preventive health, and continue building world-class infrastructure. We should also implement technology-enabled access and build strong health care skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbove all, we need to focus on empowering the individual to take charge of his own health, and be responsible for his well-being. The right combination of all of the above is the perfect prescription for a healthy Tanzania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
