Senior Citizens Get the Last Laugh!

>Life expectancy may be rising globally but Tanzania is one of the countries that have yet to find better ways to take care of the rising number of senior citizens in the world, The Citizen on Saturday has established.

Chadema’s presidential running mate Juma Duni said yesterday that the Ukawa led government will put in place a programme through which senior citizens will receive better services, especially in health matters.

A recent study conducted by a UK-based organisation on the access Tanzania's senior citizens have to transport has been ranked among the top 20 from 6,975 research case studies in its category.

After rising demands by senior citizens to have their interests represented by presidential hopefuls, presidential running-mate for Chadema Mr Juma Duni Hadji has today announced the party’s dedication towards improving services- particularly health care-to the elderly.

>At the height of fame, The Express newspaper once ran a headline describing the casualty department at the Muhimbili National Hospital as a transit lounge for the dying. That may have been overdone, given the sterling job some of our doctors are doing under extreme shortages of just about everything – from inadequate staffing to infrastructure and drugs.
