DAR ES SALAAM: MUHIMBILI National Hospital (Upanga and Mloganzila), during these 100 days, has successfully provided specialist services to more than 3,000 patients, as is the government’s goal to benefit the citizens and the major investments made in the health sector, and ensure that specialist services reach every citizen.
Speaking at a press conference, the MNH Executive Director Dr Delilah Kimambo explained how Muhimbili Hospital, both Upanga and Mloganzila campuses, are collaborating with development stakeholders to continue expanding the scope of services by bringing services closer to the citizens and improving service delivery infrastructure.
“During this period, the hospital has implemented specialist and specialist services such as kidney, hip, and knee transplants, while it is in the final preparations to start liver transplants,” said Dr Kimambo.
She also added that the hospital is effectively implementing the order not to detain bodies in the hospital because of debts and explained the special procedure currently in use that allows the deceased to take the body of their loved one even if they have not yet paid the expenses incurred during their treatment.
On the other hand, Dr Kimambo has urged citizens to be enthusiastic about the issue of health insurance for all as it will help simplify services and make them receive services on time, and eliminate the inconvenience of being owed debts when their loved ones lose their lives.
