Dar es Salaam. The Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT) has asked the government to put in place a central coordination system that would harmonise provision of healthcare services in the country.
MAT President, Dr Obadia Nyongole, said this on Wednesday October 25 during the 49th National Health Conference held in Dar es Salaam.
Dr Nyongole said the lack of a central coordination system makes it difficult for district and regional health authorities to ensure health provision is coordinated at national level.
"In other sectors, such as roads and other infrastructure, there is the National Roads Agency that ensures all road networks are monitored and taken care of.
“In the health sector, such a system is non-existent. If it existed, all problems related to poor coordination and untimely deployment of health workforce wouldn't have been a problem," he said.
The 3 day conference has been officiated by Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan who represented President John Magufuli.
