Tanzania rolled up to a scientific conference in Istanbul through Chief Medical Officer Grace Magembe and told everyone the government plans to keep using research data plus international partnerships, to protect pregnant women and babies from diseases. The delegation explained how the country is upgrading health tracking systems with DHIS2 and monitoring maternal deaths better while adding new sections to catch information about disabilities and physical issues affecting younger mothers.

Magembe said the priority right now involves beefing up existing health information platforms like GOTHOMIS instead of building completely new systems from scratch. The government wants to track hepatitis B in newborns and eliminate HIV, hepatitis and syphilis passing from mothers to children while improving how they register data for pregnant girls under 18. Tanzania thanked KCRI and Cork University in Ireland for working together on getting reliable statistics that help officials plan where to spend resources on health programs.
