Health Tanzania seeks tie-ups with India in tertiary healthcare Our Bureau
Hyderabad , June 18 THE High Commissioner of Republic of Tanzania, Ms Eva L. Nzaro, has sought wide-ranging alliances with India in delivery of tertiary healthcare and availability of affordable medical technology. Addressing a press conference after inaugurating the 3-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping system of heart, CARTO, at the CARE Hospitals here on Friday, Ms Nzaro said many patients from Tanzania were visiting India for treatment for sometime. However, she said the economy of Tanzania finds it difficult to support large-scale traffic of its people abroad. She evinced keen interest in the treatment protocols developed by the CARE Hospitals to provide international standard tertiary healthcare at affordable prices and various indigenous technologies. The CARE Hospitals Chairman, Dr B. Soma Raju, took the High Commissioner around various advanced facilities such as Cardiac MRI, Nuclear Medicine and Cellular Medicine. With Tanzania holding the burden of large HIV affected population, the High Commissioner said she had detailed discussions with Haematology and Microbiology experts to address the problem of community level management of infected people. Dr Raju said she was briefed about the recent success of Stem Cell research in the CARE Hospital and the long-term plans of adapting this technology for various clinical applications. According to the senior executives of the Hospitals, CARTO system is used to treat complex conduction problems in the heart. In most of the hospitals in the country, the situations of life threatening abnormalities in the heartbeats, medically called arrhythmias, were treated with drugs or invasive ablation. The CARTO facility helps in precise location of the conduction abnormality and facilitates accurate ablation of the affected tissue, they said.
