How to improve Tanzanian Health system

Throw all Fisadis and thieves in Segerea, Ukonga etc, etc, freeze their assets and collect all money in local and foreign accounts; use the money to improve the health sector hand in hand with human resource development! LKK

The fact that there’s a lot of problems with the system of Health Care Delivery is not debatable.

The debate, however, would be on the singular most important change that needs to be effected within the system, given the limited resources available, which can bring about improvement.

A statement like ‘completely overhauling the system’ ,with all due respects, would be a vague response.

I’d like to know what Wanabidii think would be the way forward to improve our system of Health delivery and in the process protect the vulnerable service users.

My thoughts include; empowering agencies to increase the level of regulation of practicing Doctors; setting up a consumer protection outfit to protect the public from ‘mercenary’ and ‘quack’ clinics etc.

My declaration of Interest:

I am a Medical Practitioner . I have worked in Africa and the UK (where i currently practice), but i am also familiar with how the Health sector works in other developed and developing countries. I am exploring realistic interventions that can be offered at an individual, possibly advocacy level to achieve the greatest impact. I am not interested in setting up yet another hospital to exploit the vulnerable.

Your suggestions are welcome.
