Battle: Dar es Salaam vs Nairobi

Kumbe KG 1 ya sukari Kenya ni 5000 🤣 sasa naiona Zimbabwe mpya 🤩🤩🤩

Bongolala, wacha kujisumbua na masuala ya Kenya na kushangilia keyboard warriors wa Twitter. Kenya 1kg ya sukari ni kati ya Ksh110 - Ksh120 depending with the brand. Hiyo ya ksh250 a kg labda ni kwenu Tanganyika

Tanganyika kilo moja ya sukari ni shilingi 150 za Kenya wakati mimi nanunua the same quantity at Ksh110 na bado unatoa povu. Si unaona ulivyo mjinga?
 
Nadhani unafananisha na ordinary CT SCAN wewe hiyo ni PET CT only SA na TZ ndio wanayo kwa Sub Saharan Africa the rest are in North Africa. Tena only 4 countries in Africa ndio wana hizo machines.
Maskini, watu wanayo 3yrs ago nyie ndio mumepata leo alafu mnajisifia ujinga hapa
Eti SA na TZ only nani kasema

Dar eyes medical hub status with 15.5bn/- diagnoss tool
STATE of the art cancer screening equipment being installed at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) is expected to save over 5bn/- spent on diagnosis overseas and make Tanzania a regional hub for medical tourism.

Health deputy minister Dr Godwin Mollel.

Once operational within four months, the positron emission tomography/computed tomography and cyclotron (PET/CT) that cost over 15.5bn/- will add Tanzania to a handful of African countries capable of diagnosing cancer at an early stage.

Health deputy minister Dr Godwin Mollel made these observations during an inspection tour with members of the standing committee for Social Welfare and Community Development of the National Assembly at the health facility, noting that the new equipment will be the first such installation in the East African region.

The new equipment helps to push the government industrialization policy as it involves building a factory to produce radio isotopes used in the scanning of tumours, he said, highlighting that the government’s goal is to improve early screening within the country and serve foreign visitors as well.

Using the new equipment will increase revenues to the health facility as people seek its services, thus improving ORCI internal finances, reducing subsidies from the government, he said, noting that radio isotopes produced at the proposed plant will be sold to other hospitals internally and regionally where a similar machine is available.

Since PET/CT Scan machines are not available in most of Sub-Saharan countries save for Kenya and South Africa, patients from other nearby countries are likely to fly to ORCI for medical examination, making the centre double as a tourism hub.

ORCI executive director Dr Julius Mwaiselage said the institute receives over 2000 patients from nearby countries, collecting revenues amounting to 3.2bn/- annually through scanning services.

The building housing the new equipment had reached 80 percent construction and installation of the machine is expected before end of June, with testing and handing over the cyclotron and PET/CT Scan slated for July, he stated.

A PET scan can find abnormal activity and it is more sensitive to tumour cell motion than other imaging tests. It may also show changes in the body more rapidly, and in that case doctors use PET-CT scans to provide more detailed information about incipient cancers, he explained.

ORCI has already trained three nuclear medicine physicians, four nuclear machine technologists, nuclear machine medical physicists, biomedical engineers and radio pharmacists he stated, expressing the ORCI wish to promote these services in hospitals across the sub-region in order to improve medical tourism and increase revenues.

At present ORCI attends 7000 patients annually, while 45,000 to 50,000 patients await making a second visit, with the cost of screening using the new equipment billed at 1.6m/- per person, the director noted.

Stanislaus Nyongo, chairman of the committee, expressed satisfaction with the progress reached, urging the institute to engage the private sector to increase supplies of radio isotopes by opening branches in neighbouring countries.

ORCI needs to come up with a treatment business plan on how to extend services to clients in a more cost rationalized manner, he added.

The government has banned publicly sponsored patients from travelling outside the country for cancer diagnosis using PET scans. The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board chief executive Daniel Yumbya said the service is now available in Kenya. “This applies to patients who are using public funds (NHIF).20 Feb 2019

Tanzania’s food stock rise to a record 214,968 tonnes
TANZANIA’S food stocks rose to a record 214,968 tonnes since November 2015, after the National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) procured more food stocks in December last year to boost the country’s food security.

Food%201_2.jpg

The food stocks procured by the food agency consisted of maize, paddy and sorghum.

According to Bank of Tanzania (BoT) Monthly Economic Review for January 2022, the country’s food reserve increased by 5, 911 tonnes from 209,057 tonnes recorded in November 2021 to 214,968 recorded in December last year.

Wholesale prices of the selected food crops however increased in December 2021 compared with the corresponding period in 2020 save for beans and round potatoes.

“On month-to-month basis, all prices of selected food crops continued to increase relative to the previous month,” the report said.
According figures released by the BoT, the sack of maize (100KGS) increased from 49,683/- in November to 57,105/- recorded in December 2021 while the sack of rice (100kgs) increased from 154,394/- in November 2021 to 164,880/- recorded in December, 2021.

On the other hand, the price of beans increased from 178,045/- in November 2021 to 182,164/- reported in December, 2021 while the price of sorghum also increased from 178,045/- to 182,164/- during the same period.

The headline inflation rate rose slightly to 4.2 per cent in December, 2021 from 4.1 percent in the preceding month, on account of increased food and energy prices.

“Inflation however remained within the target of 3-5 per cent in line with the EAC and SADC convergence criteria despite slowly edging up since June, 2021,” the report added.

The Twelve-months food inflation increased to 4.9 per cent in December 2021 from 4.4 per cent recorded in the preceding month of November, 2021 following increase in the price of cooking oil, banana, fruits, wheat flour, goat meat, beef, potatoes, soft drinks, sorghum flour and rice.

Non-food inflation however declined to 3.9 per cent from 4 per cent during the same period.

Meanwhile, domestic pump prices of petroleum pump products maintained an upward trend since June 2020, in line with the prices of the world market.

During December 2021, diesel, petrol and kerosene prices registered an annual increase of 39.1 per cent, 34.3 per cent and 27.8 per cent respectively as compared to the same period in 2020.

“On month to month, the prices of diesel, petrol and kerosene increased by 6.3 per cent, 2.7 per cent and 1.7 per cent respectively.
