From 2 to 12 September 2021, a Delegation of the Italian Agency of Cooperation Development of Nairobi, led by Doctor Davide Bonechi e with the participation of Doctor Giulia Dagliana and Doctor Beatrice Borchi of Centro di Salute Globale of Tuscany Region, had an assessment mission for the starting of a 1.25 million euro health project in Tanzania. This is part of a wider initiative that also involves Kenya and Uganda and has the goal to create a network in the health field that will make possible to share best practices, training and exchange of medical equipment within the Region. During the field visits to hospitals and health facilities in Dodoma, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, it was understood the great need for medical assistance in the neonatal sector. Ambassador Marco Lombardi, that was with the Delegation at the meeting with the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children, Professor Abel Makubi, has expressed all his support for the important project that matches with the priorities of President Samia Suhulu Hassan in the field of assistance to newly born and their mothers.
