Benjamin Mkapa Hospital rolled into Singida with heart specialists to screen and treat cardiac issues in both kids and grown-ups, and people showed up in droves. Acting Assistant Director Rayhan Mbisso said the five-day camp brought cardiologists who can handle patients across age groups, while Dr David Mwasota from the regional hospital mentioned turnout was massive right from the start.
The Dodoma-based facility also started doing facet injections and epidural blocks for chronic back pain, making it the second place in Tanzania and the first in the central zone to offer this non-surgical treatment. Dr Maxgama Ndosi explained that patients get spinal injections that knock out pain completely, and they can head home the same day without needing surgery or hospital stays. One patient said severe back pain vanished immediately after the procedure, and Benjamin Mkapa Hospital keeps expanding specialized services as it hits its tenth year of operation.
