Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete pledged to step up a recruiting campaign to counter the national shortage of doctors and achieve a ratio of one doctor per 10,000 citizens.
"We need more cardiovascular practitioners, as the data we have concerning the increase of the disease are scary," the president said on Tuesday (January 10th). "We need to start doing something."
Kikwete made the remarks at the first international conference on cardiovascular disease in Dar es Salaam, where he announced that the government will build a new School of Medicine at the University of Dodoma as part of the new national recruitment scheme.
Egypt announced on Wednesday that it will send a team of medical experts to open a health clinic in Tanzania to help fill the gap.
"We are serious about this because we know our brothers and sisters in Tanzania have few medical personnel," said Egypt's Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamed Amr during a visit to Dar es Salaam.
