The
JPM Dispensary
JPM Dispensary was started in the year 2000 by Dr. Jerome Peter
Mkiramweni.
Dr.
Mkiramweni received his medical education both in the country and
abroad (Berlin, Germany) and upon returning home he became aware
of the major health problems facing the Tanzanians. He managed to
convince the government health official to let him set a small health
centre at Mwananyamala Bwawani in Kinondoni area for he learned
that this area was inhabited by the majority of poor people who
could not afford to meet the existing rising health costs. Implementation
of the services of the JPM dispensary was based on employing limited
number of clinical officers, laboratory technicians and nurses to
work for 24 hours coverage while receiving his support during evening
hours after his work as a specialist in a big hospital. The major
diseases facing the population in this area are: Malaria, upper
respiratory tract infection. Minor surgical disordes, typhoid and
HIV/AIDS.
