After a long voyage and delays in being released from the port, a container of medical equipment and supplies has arrived at @BuguruniB49606 to boost BAHC’s services for 67K+ patient visits/year. A generous donor helped secure this load, which we arranged with @SOSinternationl.
A container of much-needed medical equipment and supplies has arrived by ship in Dar es Salaam, en route to our healthcare partners. More info in coming days. Thank you, @SOSinternationl
Read our 2024 annual report, which details our work with partners such as #Buguruni Anglican Health Centre. BAHC served 65K patients last year (20 years ago: approx. 6,500/year). #Tanzania#afya https://t.co/TmGSbzV3M2
On #WorldMalariaDay2025 we acknowledge the ongoing global challenge of malaria. More than 25,000 (estimated) people die every year from malaria in Tanzania. We hope to publish a manuscript about our implementation of the “island model” of malaria eradication in #Rufiji district.

#AntiMicrobialResistance is a silent pandemic that requires changes in approaches and practices for infection prevention and control, as we note in a chapter of a new @SpringerNature handbook: https://t.co/R5HwrTjOie. @icarindia@FAOIndia
With @wizara_afyatz, #MDHTZ, @MolbioDx & others we trained 30 #Truenat super-users from central & regional reference laboratory staff, who will ensure the molecular diagnostic tool proficiency of end-user lab staff at the peripheral level of the TB diagnostic network in Tanzania.

With the support of international grants, we’ve helped establish a waste #recycling program at #Buguruni Anglican Health Centre, Dar es Salaam. The program protects patients and staff from infection and plays a part in the greening of the planet. #WorldHealthDay
