"Nimefurahishwa sana jinsi mlivyoboresha huduma, wakati napita kusalimia baadhi ya wagonjwa wamenieleza kuridhishwa na huduma wanazopatiwa, hii inatia moyo sana.

"Nimefurahishwa na uboreshaji wa mwonekano wa Hospitali, mazingira, majengo na hii ndio Hospitali ya Taifa Muhimbili tunayoitaka" amesema Mhe. Majaliwa.

Wito wangu: Pimeni Vinasaba vya Sikoseli kabla ya Kuoana au Kuanzisha Familia.
----
Sikoseli (Seli Mundu) ni ugonjwa wa kurithi unaoathiri chembechembe nyekundu za damu. Ugonjwa huu husababishwa na kurithi vinasaba kutoka kwa wazazi wote wawili. Takwimu zinaonyesha kuwa asilimia 15 hadi 20 ya watanzania wana vinasaba vya ugonjwa huu hivyo wana uwezekano wa kupata watoto wenye ugonjwa wa Sikoseli iwapo watakuwa na wenza wenye vinasaba vya Sikoseli.

Nchini Tanzania inakadiriwa kuwa kila mwaka takribani watoto 11,000 huzaliwa na ugonjwa wa Sikoseli. Takwimu hizi zinaifanya Tanzania kuwa nchi ya 5 duniani yenye wagonjwa wengi ikitanguliwa na Nigeria, India, DRC Congo na Angola.

Sikoseli sio ugonjwa wa kupuuza! Watoto wenye ugonjwa huu mara nyingi hupata maambukizi ya bacteria, kupata maumivu kwenye mifupa (misuli) na kupungukiwa damu mara kwa mara. Hali hii huathiri ukuaji wao na maendeleo yao shuleni kwa kuwa wanashindwa kuhudhuria masomo mara kwa mara kutokana na kuumwa. Aidha watoto wengi wanaozaliwa na Sikoseli (hadi asilimia 70) yaani watoto 7 kati ya 100 hufariki dunia kabla ya kutimiza umri wa miaka mitano!

Serikali imeendelea kuboresha huduma za Wagonjwa wa Sikoseli kwa kufanya yafuatayo:-
1. kuanzisha Klinic za Sikoseli katika Hospitali za Rufaa za Mikoa na baadhi ya Hospitali za Halmashauri na Vituo vya Afya. Mwelekeo wetu ni kuhakikisha Klinic za Sikoseli zinaanzishwa katika Hospitali zote za Halmashauri na Vituo vyote vya Afya nchi nzima. Lengo ni kuimarisha huduma za ugunduzi wa mapema kwa watoto wachanga

2. Kuendelea kutoa Elimu kwa jamii kuhusu Ugonjwa wa Sikoseli ambapo tutaongeza nguvu ya kutoa Elimu kwa Vijana kuhusu umuhimu wa kupima vinasaba vya Sikoseli kabla ya kuoana au kuanzisha familia ili kuvunja mduara wa ugonjwa huu.

3. Kuimarisha upatikanaji wa Dawa ya Hydroxurea ambapo mwaka 2017 ni asilimia 1 tu ya watoto wenye sikoseli ndio walipata dawa hii kupitia bima ya NHIF. Hivi sasa watoto wanaopata dawa ya hyrodroxurea kupitia NHIF imefikia asilimia 32. Lengo letu ni kuhakikisha watoto wote wenye Sikoseli wanapata dawa hii bila kikwazo.

4. Kuimarisha huduma za kubadilisha damu (Exchange blood transfusion) kwa wagonjwa wa Sikoseli wenye uhitaji.

5. Kuanzisha huduma za kupandikiza Uloto (Bonne marrow transplant) kwa watoto wenye sikoseli katika Hospitali ya Benjamin Mkapa ambapo mwaka huu 2023 watoto watatu wamepandikizwa uloto. Hii ni hatua nzuri kuelekea kupatikana kwa tiba ya kudumu kwa wagonjwa wa Sikoseli. Mwaka 2023/24 Serikali chini ya Rais @SuluhuSamia itagharamia watoto 20 kupandikizwa Uloto

6. Mafunzo na Tafiti ili kuboresha huduma na kupata takwimu na maamuzi ya kisera yenye udhibitisho wa kisayansi unaoendana na mahitaji ya nchi yetu ili kuwa na kizazi kisichokuwa na ugonjwa wa Sikoseli.
