Introduction: injuries represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide road traffic crashes accounts for proportion these injuries. Tanzania is among the countries with high rates crashes. The aim this study was to determine pattern, associated factors management injury patients in Tanzania.
The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery established the Three Delays framework, categorising delays in accessing timely surgical care into seeking (First Delay), reaching (Second and receiving (Third Delay). Globally, knowledge gaps regarding for fracture care, lack of large prospective studies informed rationale our international observational study. We investigated hospital admission as a surrogate explored factors associated with delayed admission.
Introduction: traumatic brain Injuries represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide road traffic crashes accounts for proportion these injuries. However, access to neurosurgical care is poor in low income countries like Tanzania. The aim this study was assess the management outcome Traumatic injury patients at tertiary level health facility
Introduction: Work related injuries are common, and the mining industry accounts for a significant proportion of these injuries. Tanzania is among countries with high rates injuries, nevertheless pre-hospital care almost non existant health service deliveries poor. This study sought to identify factors associated fatalities miners in Mererani, Tanzania.
In Tanzania, inadequate infrastructures and shortages of trauma-response training exacerbate trauma-related fatalities. McGill University's Centre for Global Surgery introduced the Trauma Disaster Team Response course (TDTR) to address these challenges. This study assesses impact simulation-based TDTR on care providers' knowledge/skills healthcare processes enhance patient outcomes.
Digitizing surgical data infrastructure is critical for policymakers to make informed decisions. The implementation of the first web-based operating theater (OT) recordings at Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) represents significant advancements in management Tanzania. This study aims share post-platform outcomes, challenges, and insights gained offering guidance settings facing similar repository challenges.
The assessment of outcomes interventions based on the patient's perspective using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has been increasingly highlighted in clinical practice. However, health related quality life (HRQoL), one common constructs measured by PROMs remain unknown among patients after heart valve replacement (HVR) Tanzania.To assess HRQoL amongst operated for rheumatic mitral stenosis at Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI).A prospective study due to JKCI from January 2020...
Background. Delay in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) diagnosis is one of the major factors that affect outcome and threatens continued spread tuberculosis.

A retrospective observational was done using clinic records HIV-infected suspects attending an HIV/AIDS Tintswalo rural hospital South Africa (SA) between January 2006 December 2007. Using routine registers, 480...
The prevalence of surgical trauma as a global public health hazard has been severely neglected. Trauma surgeons in Uganda and Canada have developed the Kampala Score (KTS), severity index specific to east African contexts. Hospitals Tanzania begun use this tool measure their own management protocols order validity regionally. This study sought enhance analysis data collected through KTS, by highlighting efficacy lacunae registry evaluation quality one ongoing round collection at an...
Introduction: Burnout syndrome is prevalent to a great extent among medical residents, and this can interfere with their training patient management.

The study sought to describe laboratory methods and blood culture procedures their impact on antimicrobial resistance surveillance among nosocomial bacteria. We conducted a systematic audit of practices in the Department Microbiology, Central Pathology Laboratory at Muhimbili National Hospital, between 19th 23rd March 2012. A total 25 -30 specimens were received each day as an indication low volumes culturing this site. More requests came from neonatal unit hospital, performed manually with...
Abstract Background Trauma significantly impacts Tanzanian healthcare. Lacking standardized hospital‐based minimal trauma data sets places further challenges for policymakers. In other resource‐limited countries, implementing systems and registries has reduced injury mortalities. 2013, we introduced an electronic registry, iTRAUMA TM at the Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) but noted several drawbacks. 2023, a robust web‐based registry platform. This study assesses feasibility utility of...
