AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoChild Health & Cancer Care: Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan has urged health researchers to investigate a rising number of children being diagnosed with cancer and heart diseases, calling it an increasingly serious public health concern. She made the call while inaugurating a new radiotherapy centre at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, saying the facility will help decentralise specialised cancer treatment and reduce long-distance travel for patients and families. Access to Treatment: The President said radiotherapy services have expanded from Ocean Road in Dar es Salaam to Bugando in Mwanza, and now to the Northern Zone, with plans to extend further to other regions. Health Education & Prevention: She also stressed the need for public education and preventive interventions once researchers identify what is driving the childhood burden.
