Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa is expected to officiate the inauguration of the expanded Aga Khan Hospital-Dar es Salaam (AKHD) building on 9 March. Speaking to The Citizen on 7 March, the AKDN representative, Mr Amin Kurji, said that the structure is intended to accommodate more cancer patients who are normally referred abroad for treatment. He said that the new 100-bed capacity building will be used as a referral centre, and will have more theatres and additional intensive care facilities. He added that the expansion of the building at AKH did not only see the structural expansion in terms of the aforementioned improvements, but also robust strengthening of existing clinical services and introduction of several new services.
