Health sector industrialization is set to be high on the agenda this year as hundreds of health stakeholders and the government convene for the 5th Tanzania Health Summit (THS) in Dar es Salaam.
For many years now, the health sector in Tanzania has been going through industrialization. However, the stage hadn’t been set yet to evaluate how the process can better be achieved, the challenges it’s currently facing and how to mitigate risks associated.
THS, which is due to take place on November 13&14th 2018 will set a platform that attracts over 1000 stakeholders and the government of the United Republic of Tanzania who will set the right direction on how quality healthcare can be achieved in the era of industrialization.
Inspired by the theme: Tanzania Health Sector Industrialization. Progress Review and Unlocking Persistent Challenges, this year’s summit will take place at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre (JNICC) and is expected to be attended by distinguished delegates from the country and beyond.
The President of Tanzania Health Summit, Dr Omary Chillo, said, “Tanzania’s Development Vision projects that the country will be transformed into middle income economy by 2025, this is not far from now. Since we already have political commitment, as exemplified by President John Magufuli’s determination, we need now to set strategies to get there. That’s why we need to set the pace in healthcare.”
“Take this example, the pharmaceutical industry has been poorly progressing since 1962 when healthcare industrialisation per se began in Tanzania. By now, it does not meet the national demand. What we have achieved so far in reviving this industry? How do we move from here? That’s what this year’s summit is all about,’’ added Dr Chillo.
Investors in health, hospitals, distributors, healthcare researchers as well as NGOs are expected to take part in this major event which now enters its 5th year; after registering achievements in various public health sectors. THS was first held in the country in 2014.
What the outcomes of summit mean to the country
Recommendations from the summit will be included in the working documents and participants will discuss key actions to be carried out individually and/or jointly to influence the country’s industrialization agenda and ensuring that activities are align to achieve the goal.
