Benjamin Mkapa Hospital cardiologists screened 176 heart patients during a five-day medical camp in Singida Region, and 26 people got shipped back to the Dodoma facility for advanced treatment. Dr. John Meda from the cardiology department said the patient turnout crushed expectations while bringing specialist services closer to communities that normally can't access cardiac care.
One parent, Irene Tandu, found out her kid has a hole in the heart and committed to following through with the referral instructions. The hospital keeps deploying specialist teams to central zone facilities to build capacity for treating heart conditions in both kids and adults.
Acting Assistant Director Rayhan Mbisso led the delegation with pediatric and adult cardiologists who ran the screening operation through a partnership between the two hospitals.
