Developing paediatric subspecialty training in resource-limited settings; the first neonatology subspeciality program in Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality remains high in Tanzania, where progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 is constrained by a severe shortage of trained workforce. To achieve the goal, Tanzania, with approximately two million annual births, aims to reduce neonatal mortality from 24 to fewer than 12 deaths per 1,000 live births by 2030. In 2020, only five neonatologists, including expatriates, were available nationwide. To fill this gap, the…
Factors associated with level of knowledge on childhood cancer early warning signs among intern doctors in Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Globally, about 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, with nearly 90% living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to diagnosis and treatment remains limited. While high-income countries report cure rates above 80%, survival in LMICs is often below 30%. In Tanzania, delayed diagnosis contributes to poor outcomes, largely due to low awareness of childhood cancer warning signs among healthcare workers…
Paediatric haematology/oncology workforce and training programmes for Africa
Graduate medical education programmes in paediatric haematology/oncology (PHO) are necessary to train specialists to provide high-quality care for children and adolescents with cancer and haematologic diseases. In this study, we used the Education Program Assessment Tool (EPAT). The study consisted of three components: (1) mapping the PHO workforce and training programmes in Africa; (2) using the EPAT to evaluate the current PHO programmes in Afr…
The Effects of Sickle Cell Disease on the Quality of Life
Tanzania is among the top five countries with a high burden of sickle cell disease (SCD) in the world. Even though the effects of SCD on quality of life have been documented in other countries including Nigeria and the United States of America, few are known from Tanzania. Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the effects of SCD on the quality of life among children living with SCD and their parents. The study employed a qualitative approac…
