We, the Hemophilia Society of Tanzania (HST) congratulates, supports and cheers the successful efforts which were undertaken by government in particular the Prime Minister Hon. Mizengo Pinda, Medical consultants, Physicians/ Doctors and entire medical community to restore medical services at Muhimbili Referral Hospital. 

We trust that the decisions made today will be sustained for the betterment of the entire Tanzania community including people with blood clotting disorder.

As you may know, our society is officially registered under the Ministry of Home Affairs (2009) vide Societies Rule of 1954 with Reg. No. SA 16403. 

Its purpose is “Independent diagnosis and management of bleeding disorders within Tanzania”.  

The objectives are; to create awareness in Tanzania about bleeding disorders and mobilize patients to lobby for access to clotting factors and improved medical services.  Hemophilia is a hereditary life long disease associated with continuous bleeding, trauma and sometimes death if a vein is injured/cut and no treatment is provided within a reasonable tine.

Therefore, we say an excellent humanitarian and life saving decision was made.

“Treatment for a ALL”

Long live Tanzania

Facebook update status ya Tanzagiza‎ inasema hivi...

"Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Kituo Cha Sheria na Haki za Binadamu, Dkt. Hellen Kijo-Bisimba, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Sikika, Irenei Kiria, na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa TAMWA, Ananilea Nkya, wakamatwa na polisi, na sasa wanapelekwa Oysterbay Police kwa kosa la kutembelea hospitali ya Muhimbili leo, na watashitakiwa kutaka kusababisha uvunjifu wa amani...."

Na ukurasa wa twitter wa Irenei ameandika:

Taarifa za kukamatwa kwa viongozi hao ziliwafikia watu mbalimbali na baadhi yao ni Madaktari waliokuwa wakizungumza na Waziri Mkuu ambapo katika mapendekezo yao walimtaka Waziri Mkuu atoe amri ya viongozi hawa wa mashirika na asasi za kiraia, na wanaharakati waachwe huru mara moja.

Tukio la kuwakamata lilitokea katika eneo la Muhimbili.

Unaweza kufuatilia "update" status ya suala hili kupitia twitter.com/ChangeTanzania na katika tweets mbalimbali kwenye widget ya tweets za Watanzania inayoonekana kwenye ukurasa wa "habari" katika tovuti ya wavuti.com 

The director of the Tanzania Media Women's Association (Tamwa), Ananilea Nkya, was arrested early today in Dar es Salaam.She was detained along with several activists and journalists during a public demonstration calling for the government to resolve an ongoing doctors' strike.

Several hospitals have been closed during the strike by junior doctors and medical interns, which began on 30 January. They are protesting about pay and working conditions.

Some specialists have also joined the strike, and the Tanzanian government has come under mounting pressure to resolve the dispute.

The reason for Nkya's arrest remains obscure. She did make a statement yesterday about the need "to make the public disabuse themselves of the commonly held belief that prominent people care little about what is going on because they can access medical attention outside Tanzania."

But concerned supporters do not believe that to have been the reason for her detention.

Thirteen leaders of national and grassroots activist organizations in Tanzania have been detained today by the government in the Oyster Bay Police Station, Dar es Salaam, in a government clamp down on protests by women/feminist and human rights activists against the failure of the government to resolve the health crisis arising from a two weekdoctors strike in Tanzania. 

The leaders come from LHRC, TGNP, TAMWA, NEDPHA and several other grassroots organizations. They and others were on their way to Muhimbili Hospital to await the outcome of talks which the Prime Minister was having with striking doctors. 

On Wednesday 8thFebruary more than 200 activists successfully ‘occupied’ Salendar Bridge and the roads leading into it for two hours, and got major media attention and support from motorists and passersby for their action, based on the posters demanding that the Minister of Health and other top officials must resign; and protesting the failure of the President’s Office and the Parliament to give the situation priority. Countless numbers of people have died as a result of the strike. 

However, as the participating organizations such as TGNP have noted, people were dying long before this strike because of the lack of adequate human, financial and material resources provided to health care at all levels.

Many of the organizations leading the protest are members of the Feminist Activist Coalition, Fem Act, including TGNP, TAMWA, LHRC, HakiElimu, SIKIKA, and NEDPHA; others belong to Policy Forum, including Policy Forum itself; and many others are grassroots organisations participating in the Gender and Development Seminar Series [GDSS].

Kwa ufupi, kutoka kwa watu waliokuwemo kwenye mkutano wa Madaktari na Waziri Mkuu katika ukumbi wa CPL, Muhimbili, haya ndiyo yaliyotatuliwa:

Pendekezo kuwa baadhi ya viongozi wa Wizara ya Afya na Usatawi wa Jamii kuondoshwa katika nafasi zao limefanikiwa nusu kwani Waziri Mkuu amemwagiza Naibu Katibu Mkuu, Peniel Lyimo kuwaandikia barua za likizo Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara hiyo, Blandina Nyoni na Mganga Mkuu, Dkt. Deo Mtasiwa il hali Waziri Haji Hadji Mponda na Naibu Waziri Dkt. Lucy Nkya watasubiri maamuzi ya Rais Kikwete.

Nyongeza ya "Call Allowances" inaanza mara moja mwezi huu. Watalipwa ifuatavyo: Specialist MDs (25,000/=), Regular MDs (20,000/=); AMO, COs (15,000) Registered Nurses (10,000/=) na baada ya bajeti kutakuwa na mabadiliko ambapo mafao haya yataangaliwa upya. Kimeundwa Kikosi Kazi vha watu 9 chenye Daktari mmoja kwa ajili ya majadiliano na kutoa maamuzi juu ya mshahara pamoja na "allowances" zote (Nyumba, House allowances, Hardship allowances nk). Kikosi kazi kina muda wa wiki mbili kufanya kazi hii.

Usafiri: Madaktari watapewa mikopo ya magari

Green Card kwa kila Daktari na familia yake inaanza mara moja.

Kwa hivyo, Madaktari wameazimia kuahirisha mgomo na kurudi kazini ili kuwahudumia Watanzania. 

Madaktari watakutana tena rasmi kufanya tathmini ya maamuzi yote ya sasa na ya Kikosi Kazi hapo tarehe 3 Machi 2012.

Waziri Mkuu aliruhusu mikutano ya Madaktari aliyoizuia awali kufanyika, na ndipo Madaktari walipopata fursa ya  kuendelea kukutana na kujadiliana baada ya mkutano wao na Waziri Mkuu kumalizika.

UPDATE:Post hii imejaa audio na inakuwa nzito kufunguka, hivyo kila inapotokea taarifa mpya, nitaianzishia post yake ili kupunguza usumbufu wa "loading time".

Siku ya leo, taarifa na habari kuhusu mgogoro wa Madaktari na Serikali Tanzania zitaongezwa hapa kama "updates" au "mpya" kadiri zitakavyopatikana kutoka kwenye vyanzo mbalimbali vya habari. 

Hivyo usikose kurejea chapisho hili (post) mara kwa mara kuona ikiwa imeongezwa habari mpya.

Kazi ya kwanza aliyoifanya Spika Anne Makinda leo asubuhi ni kuelezea maendeleo ya hatua zinazochukuliwa kumalizia mgogoro wa madaktari.

Alisema Kamati ya Bunge ilimaliza kazi na jana usiku walikutana na kamati ya uongozi na baadaye Spika alizungumza na Waziri Mkuu na Rais Kikwete na wakakubaliana jambo.

Alisema jambo hilo litawekwa wazi mchana huu. Hata hivyo alisema kwamba Waziri Mkuu anaendelea na juhudi za kukutana na wahusika.

Walichoomba wabunge kupitia Spika ni madaktari kurejea katika kazi zao na kuendelea kuzifanya.

Alsiema waliosaabbisha mawasiliano mabaya watachukuliwa hatua na madai yao ya dharura kushughulikiwa.

Alisema wajumbe wa Kamati walihuzunishwa sana na hali iliyopo katika hospitali ya Muhimbili na katika hali hiyo Spika alisema si jambo la kuzungumza kwa ushabiki kwani ni jambo kubwa.
