Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 9th February 2024 – The Aga Khan Health Service, Tanzania (AKHS, T) had the privilege of hosting President Andrzej Duda of Poland, on 9th February 2024. This visit highlighted the collaborative initiatives between Poland and Tanzania in advancing healthcare, notably through the “Improving Emergency Care in Tanzania” (IMECT). The project is supported by the Polish Government through Polish Aid and executed by the Polish Center for International Aid (PCPM) in partnership with AKHS, T.
During his visit, accompanied by the District Commissioner of Ilala, Mhe. Edward Jonas Mpogolo, The Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Health, Dr. John Jingu, and the Regional Medical Officer, Dr Mohamed Mang’una, along with senior representatives from all stakeholders, President Duda engaged in a comprehensive tour of the Aga Khan Hospital, Dar es Salaam (AKH, D). The focus of the visit was on the critical aspects of the IMECT project. He was shown the state-of-the-art equipment provided by the Polish Government through this initiative and observed live demonstrations showcasing the advanced training received by healthcare professionals. These demonstrations provided proof of the project’s positive impact on improving emergency medical services in Tanzania. Furthermore, President Duda received insights into the completion of the construction and renovation of a modern training center by AKHS, T. The centre is equipped with all necessary amenities to facilitate training and is accessible to both the public and private sectors.
AKHS, T is the longest-serving, not-for-profit, private health care institution in Tanzania, and houses the Aga Khan Hospital, Dar es Salaam (AKH, D). As the only hospital in the country to achieve Joint Commissioned International (JCI) accreditation, AKH, D leads in delivering super-specialty care. President Duda’s visit underscored the hospital’s dedication to elevating healthcare standards in Tanzania, achieved through invaluable international collaborations and public-private partnerships.
President Duda provided positive remarks, saying that, “Since commencing the project in 2022, deaths in emergency services have decreased; this is the result of investments made in equipment, training and laboratories.” Given this noteworthy impact, he promised to continue cooperation through the IMECT project.
Dr. John Jingu added that “strengthening emergency services is a priority of President Samia Suluhu Hassan; the government continues to receive support from stakeholders, such as Poland, to strength emergency care capacity in Tanzania.”
“We were privileged to host President Andrzej Duda and showcase the fruits of this vital project,” said Dr. Zeenat Sulaiman, Regional Chief Executive Officer, Aga Khan Health Services, East Africa. “This collaboration not only strengthens our emergency care capabilities, but also sets a benchmark for international partnerships in healthcare.”
The IMECT project signifies a mutual dedication between the Polish and Tanzanian governments to improve healthcare services and training across the nation. With endeavours like this, AKH, D remains at the forefront offering outstanding medical care and training in various regions, closely collaborating with the Government of Tanzania to develop both the public and private sectors.
