DR. TECLA: EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF LEPROSY REDUCES PREVALENCE OF THE DISEASE

Iringa Region tuberculosis and leprosy coordinator Dr Tecla Orio (pictured above) has challenged the community to go for diagnosis when one sees the symptoms of leprosy such facial patches.

She said in order to strengthen immunity people should go for early health check up, get professional advice and nutrition.

Dr. Orio made the statement yesterday during the press briefing ahead of the world leprosy day (Hansen's Disease) celebrated worldwide every last Sunday of the month of January of each year.

She mentioned one of the main symptoms of leprosy include: muscle weakness, numbness in the hands, arms, feet, and legs and skin lesions, adding that leprosy remains a disease of public health importance in Tanzania.

In Iringa Region as other locations around celebrated that day to educate the public about the disease of leprosy, how it is transmitted and ways to prevent the disease, treatment and side effects of the disease.

The Celebration of the world leprosy day of 2017 is governed by the motto says, “to avoid disabilities caused by leprosy among children.”

This slogan is dedicated to children due to the fact that their children poor immunity, so it is easy for them to get infection.

Leprosy is among the very old disease causes permanent disability worldwide and has also been a major cause of stigma in society.

She said Iringa region less serious cases of the disease and is declining already reached the current eradication rates of ten to 20 new patients a year.

Iringa has two district councils which have many leprosy patients including Iringa district and Kilolo district.

The medical services and the reduction of disability is provided free of charge.

Leprosy is declining but still 10 regions have many patients like Lindi, Mtwara, Coast, Morogoro, Tanga, Geita, Kigoma, Rukwa, Ruvuma and Tabora.

“We have reached eradication rates of 2006, a country of one patient out of 10,000 people. In 1983 there were reportedly about 35,000 patients in 2011 compared with 1970 patients were reported, this shows a decrease in the disease after treatment obtained by the day,” she said. 

Leprosy is a major problem causing permanent disability to approximately 250 each year. In 2015, 300 disabled were found in Tanzania. 

The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare launched the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) in July 1977. 

The programme is charged with the responsibility of facilitating early diagnosis, treatment and cure of as many tuberculosis and leprosy patients as possible so as to reduce the incidence and prevalence of these diseases until they are no longer a major public health problem in the country and to reduce physical disability and psycho-social suffering caused by the two diseases. 

Tanzania was the first country in the world to successfully combine the control of TB and Leprosy into a single programme. 

WAZIRI MKUU AWASHUKIA WATUMISHI WA HALMASHAURI

WAZIRI MKUU Kassm Majaliwa amesema wakati umefika wa kuwa na watumishi wenye weledi wa kutosha kwenye Halmashauri zote nchini na pia hazitakiwi kuwa pango la wezi, wazembe au jalala la kutupa wabadhilifu walioshindikana kwingineko.

Aidha, Waziri Mkuu amesemma Serikali za Mitaa na Halmashauri zote nchini zinatakiwa zianze kujitathmini na kujipanga vizuri zaidi kuona ni kwa namna gani zitakuwa chachu ya maendeleo ya viwanda vinavyotarajiwa.

Waziri Mkuu ametoa kauli hiyo leo (Jumatatu, Januari 30, 2017) wakati akifungua Kikao cha Baraza la Mashauriano (RCC) mkoani Dodoma. Amesema kikao ni chombo muhimu na endapo kitatumika vizuri kitaweza kusaidia kusukuma maendeleo ya Mkoa na kupunguza migogoro kwenye Halmashauri.

Amesema Serikali itaendelea kuongeza kiwango cha ruzuku kwa Halmashauri zote nchini kwa kadiri uwezo utakavyoruhusu na kusisitiza kwamba fedha hizo lazima zisimamiwe vizuri na zielekezwe kwenye miradi ya maendeleo inayowagusa wananchi.

“Endapo itabainika kwamba kuna baadhi ya Sheria zinazokwamisha utendaji katika Mamlaka za Serikali za Mitaa, hatutasita kuzifanyia mapitio na hatimaye kuzibadili ili ziendane na azma yetu ya kutoa huduma bora kwa wananchi,” amesema.

Amesema Serikali ina maslahi makubwa kwa Serikali za Mitaa, sio tu kwa kuwa ni Serikali kamili katika ngazi hiyo, bali pia kutokana na ukweli kwamba kero nyingi za wananchi ziko katika ngazi hiyo.

Waziri Mkuu amesema vyanzo vingi vya mapato ya Serikali vinapatikana kwenye Halmashauri huku changamoto kubwa ikiwa ni kulegalega kwa Halmashauri nyingi katika ukusanyaji wa mapato ya kodi na yasiyo ya kodi jambo linalozorotesha utoaji wa huduma kwa wananchi.

Hivyo Waziri Mkuu ametoa rai kwa Halmashauri hizo kuendelea kuboresha huduma kwa wananchi na kutatua kero zao kikamilifu na kwa wakati pamoja na kubuni vyanzo vipya vya mapato na kuongeza kasi ya ukusanyaji wa mapato.

Pia zihakikishe malipo yote yanafanyika kwa njia za kielektoniki na zihamasishe vijana na akina mama wajiunge kwenye vikundi vya uzalishaji mali na kuwapatia stadi za kazi na mikopo yenye masharti nafuu ili waweze kuwa chanzo cha mapato hapo baadaye.

Amesema watendaji wa Halmashauri wanatakiwa kujiepusha na vitendo vya rushwa na ubadhilifu wa mali za umma na uzembe kazini na watakaobainika kufanya vitendo hivyo wachukuliwe hatua kali za kisheria na kinidhamu.

“Someni taarifa ya CAG (Mkaguzi na Mdhibiti Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali) na kutoa majibu ya kina ya namna mtakavyodhibiti mianya ya rushwa na ubadhilifu kama ilivyoainishwa kwenye ripoti hizo,” amesema.

Hata hivyo amesema kila Halmashauri iandae mpango wa utekelezaji wa Ilani ya CCM kwenye maeneo makubwa ya kipaumbele kama vile ujenzi wa miundombinu ya shule, maboresho kwenye sekta ya afya (ujenzi wa hospitali, zahanati na vituo vya afya).

“Endeleeni kuwa na mahusiano mazuri miongoni mwenu, mfanye kazi kwa kuzingatia sheria, kanuni na taratibu. Kila mmoja kwa nafasi aliyonayo atimize wajibu wake na kuzingatia mipaka ya nafasi yake. Punguzeni migogoro, matusi, dharau, bezo na vitisho. Mshirikiane na jamii ione mpo wamoja,” amesema.
