Cancer patients cross into TZ for treatment

Cancer patients from Malawi, the Comoros and Kenya have been crossing into Tanzania in search of radiotherapy treatment, The Citizen has learnt.

Reports of people from one African country moving to another in pursuit of radiotherapy took centre stage last week after Uganda announced it was sending 400 cancer patients to Kenya for radiotherapy after its only radiation machine broke down.

This is another of those stories that have no merit. Some professional journalism would have demanded a more thorough scrutiny on reasons that would make a patient cross from Kenya to Tz for something available in Kenya. Would Tz have better services, cheaper cost or better equipment?

I might not have written evidence but I have heard of people coming to Dar because of the lower cost and shorter waiting time.
