[MedicoPRESS @MedicoPressTZ]

On Aug 22, a surprising announcement caught my attention. Newly appointed Health Minister Ms. Jenista Mhagama made a bold declaration that all public hospitals & health centers across Tanzania must attend to outpatients within 3 hours of arrival.

@SwahiliBible @aikande @ronaldndesanjo @ThabitSenior @esulle46 @Udadisi @Sajokm I think this is being discussed in reference to two Ministers being offered a PhD. We should ask ourselves about the UDOM requirements?, When did they start their PhDs?. Types of their PhDs? I don’t think is possible to combine two (a full-time job and a full-time PhD training)

[George Mkoma, MD PhD @mkomageorge]

@SwahiliBible @aikande @ronaldndesanjo @ThabitSenior @esulle46 @Udadisi @Sajokm It is possible to finish a PhD within 3 years If full-time enrolled. The process includes teaching, publications, courses and research stay abroad. However, If part-time the process can take up to 8 years. In some universities it is a requirement to have minimum two publications
