China has sent Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) medical equipment valued at 125 million won, including specialized instruments for observing blood vessels and nerves during operations.
During a ceremony held in Dar es Salaam, Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania Chen Mingjian formally gave the equipment to Health Minister Jenista Mhagama at MNH on behalf of the Chinese government.
Speaking following the receipt, Mhagama stated that it was a component of the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of Tanzania-China collaboration in the field of health. She emphasized that the equipment would assist MNH in enhancing health services and tackling obstacles in providing citizens with high-quality care.
“This partnership between our two nations will continue to bring benefits, including advanced medical equipment, modern technology and specialised experts to enhance healthcare services.
“I applaud the MNH leadership for their commitment to this partnership. This donation will significantly improve healthcare delivery and positively impact citizens,” Mhagama said.
For their contributions to the long-lasting collaboration between the two countries, Ambassador Chen thanked the Ministry of Health, MNH and the Chinese medical team in Tanzania.
Prof. Mohamed Janabi, the executive director of MNH, had earlier hailed China for the assistance and urged greater cooperation in the adoption of cutting-edge technology and the development of human resources.
“This partnership offers our doctors opportunities for specialised training in China, enhancing their skills and introducing modern techniques, including artificial intelligence, which are essential for healthcare,” Prof. Janabi stated.
He emphasized that one piece of donated equipment is a magnification microscope that is worn like glasses and allows surgeons to precisely observe and operate on tiny blood arteries and nerves.
