As diseases become more complex and medical knowledge continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, healthcare experts say hospitals can no longer rely solely on modern equipment and specialised doctors to deliver quality care. Access to up-to-date scientific evidence has become an equally critical pillar of healthcare. It is against this backdrop that the Aga Khan University (AKU) has unveiled a modern research library at the Aga Khan Hospital in Dar es Salaam, a move expected to strengthen clinical decision-making, medical research and continuous professional learning among healthcare workers. Speaking during the launch on 1 July 2026, AKU Medical College Principal, Professor Paschal Ruggajo, said the library was designed to bridge learning, research and patient care. "This unique library has been established within the hospital environment to ensure doctors, students and even patients have easy access to information and opportunities for continuous learning," he said.
