Words
of the first managing Director
I am a 47 years Tanzanian consultant surgeon and senior University
lecturer. I was brought up by poor peasant farmers in Pare mountains,
southern Kilimanjaro in a village nearby a natural forest. My parents
though not educated were aware of the importance of education. It
was from their awareness that made to realize the need for education
and by merit of the socialist government which took over from the
British colonialist myself and all my 8 young brothers and sisters
managed to attend school ranging from minimum of Advanced level
secondary school and Diploma college education. to doctorate or
equivalent degrees. Thanks to the motivation and support we received
from the catholic church and the motivation we gave each other without
forgetting the enormous support from our teachers from all levels.
The three years of my studies in Germany from 1994 to 1997 and my
work as expatriate Surgeon in the islands of Seychelles from 1997
to 1999 gave me a living international exposure which acculturated
in me the importance of hard working and improving quality of care
My experience in Health sector in Tanzania ranges right from my
life in the village where I was amazed to have received great knowledge
about tradition herbs inherited from our forefathers through remnants
of the free British health care system to up to-date mixture of
private and government medical health care provision system. My
work in the church community based health care programme after my
graduation from the medical college, my work in the government national
hospital Muhimbili and Universty teaching hospital as well as my
work in the private hospital and currently private Medical University
all these have inspired me to realize the necessity of opening a
charitable hospital for the disadvantaged majority of the people
living in the suburbs of Dar es Salaam.
Dar es salaam Charitable General Hospital will add to the list of
the existing NGO hospitals which will put emphasis on Quality of
care, primary health care, continuing education and medical research.
It will strengthen the existing relationships with the government
hospitals, pre-existing NGO and Private hospitals, medical and Nursing
colleges as well as other sectors directly or indirectly related
to health. Commitment to affordable good quality of care “with
human touch” and preventive disease intervention is our dedication.
The hospital shall as well be a centre for international cultural
and education cooperation. It will be a neutral institution which
is not affiliated to any race, religion or gender. In any given
society although there are various programs and activities to eradicate
poverty always you wil find at a given time people who lag behind
in breaking the vicious cycle of poverty.While efforts are made
to empower them to liberate them they should be treated equally
for basic life requirement. I therefore humbly request all generous
people locally and internationally to help us in form of moral support,
professional advice and material support. Each one will receive
on time our progress and financial reports and whoever willing may
phsically visit us any moment.
