The Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery (AKU)-Tanzania has provided health and climate change education including free testing services to various groups of Arusha Region residents. The move aimed at enhancing faith and humanity among the students studying midwifery and nursing at AKU as well as preparing them to give back to the community what they have learned. A lecturer at AKU, Dr Stewart Mbelwa, said the move is a normal procedure for students pursuing a bachelor's degree in nursing and midwifery when they are about to graduate ahead of providing community services such as those ones. "In this year’s exercise, we have included three things: community health, mental health, and climate change," Dr Mbelwa stated, explaining how those areas impact community health.
