In some places like Tanzania,Some people have customer service issues.
Imagine after seing the sign that there are no cellphones allowed then have your gas pumped by someone on the phone. It is extremely pathetic. This happened at the petrol station closest to the Mlimani city mall in Dar es salaam.
Most couples are honestly just bored of each other. "Hey lets go to a beach resort and ignore the waves and stuff because we'll just be over here reading a book. Like we can't do this at home.
she looks like the type that can actually make a bathing suit look good and dude is letting her get away with it. If that was me this bitch would be finding nemo by now.
Ps: for those monitoring these social networks you know this is just jokes right. In life you can never lose your sense of humor
(Mbalamwezi beach resort,Dar es salaam)
Here we have a very Typical situation for Dar. As you can see the bus is soo packed that some passengers are actually hanging outside the bus. Bitches and gentlemen this is exactly how very fucked up accidents happen. Like going beyond capacity is supposed to make you so much richer that you are willing to risk peoples lives
MALARIA
In Tanzania, malaria remains one of the major causes of illness and death. The disease causes major obstacles to social and economic development. The extent of the problem is greatest among children less than five years of age and pregnant women. Malaria has been estimated to cost Tanzania more than US$ 240 million every year in lost gross domestic product, although it can be controlled for a fraction of that sum. Tanzania has actively participated in malaria research and in developing most control tools. However, the use of such tools and scaling up of effective interventions has been a major challenge. Major system constraints include inadequate human, financial, material resources, as well as an inefficient health care system. With an increasing burden with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), there has been a shift in the use of resources whereby more prioritization is given to interventions for HIV/AIDS than for malaria. The country is faced with several challenges including diagnosis, treatment, and control measures. Districts are faced with the inability to generate reliable information needed to make decisions to inform policy and lack skills for priority setting and planning. Budget allocation is not done according to evidence-based priorities, thus leading to stagnation over time. In this report, we present some success stories and discuss the challenges facing scaling up of interventions and propose priority areas to solving the problems.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Malaria remains one of the major threats to public health and economic development in Africa. It is estimated that three million deaths result from malaria throughout the world, with Africa having more than 90% of this burden.
1 The burden of malaria in Tanzania, in particular, remains high. Every year, 14–18 million new malaria cases are reported in Tanzania, resulting in 120,000 deaths. Of these deaths, 70,000 are in children less than five years of age. The annual incidence rate is 400–500/1,000 people and this number doubles for children less than five years of age. Malaria is the leading cause of outpatients, inpatients, and admissions of children less than five years of age at health facilities.
2 Malaria is considered to be the major cause of the loss of economic productivity in persons 15–56 years of age and an impediment to learning capacity of people 5–25 years of age.
3 The disease is one of the most important obstacles to economic development and foreign investment in Tanzania.
The United Republic of Tanzania has a population of 37.4 million, 90% of whom are at risk of malaria, with endemicity and risk of transmission varying as mapped recently by Mapping Malaria Risk in Africa (MARA).
4 Tanzania has the third largest population at risk of stable malaria in Africa after Nigeria and Democratic Republic of Congo (MARA-lite Software 3.0.0, available from
http://www.org.za/).
In terms of cost implication in relation to gross domestic product (GDP), Tanzania is considered one of poorest countries in the world (partly as a result of the burden of malaria); with an annual GDP of U.S. $280 per capita (2004), and 36% of the population living below the basic needs poverty line. Malaria is estimated to consume 3.4% of the GDP or $240 million every year.
5 It is estimated that Tanzania spends $2.14 annually on malaria services of every $11 spent per person per year on health.
6 Approximately 75% of the expenditure for malaria is borne by households, with the government contributing 20% and development partners 5%.
7 Approximately 30% of this expenditure at the household level is spent for anti-malarial drugs and 50% for mosquito nets, insecticides, coils, and other strategies.
6 The burden of malaria is greatest especially among the poor, given the vicious circle of poverty and ill health.
MALARIA CONTROL STRATEGIES IN TANZANIA
The history of malaria control in Africa dates back to the early 1900s, when malaria was seen as a major threat to development in areas where the disease was endemic. In Tanzania, colonial governments implemented a number of interventions to address the situation.
8 Multiple techniques combining environmental management, effective housing designs, personal protective measures, and anti-malarial drugs were simultaneously used for malaria control. In Tanzania (formerly known as Tanganyika), malaria control efforts were initiated to protect the German colonial personnel in the late 1890s.
8 Efforts were gradually increased during the British colonial era and Tanganyika participated in the malaria eradication efforts through the Pare-Taveta scheme, which conducted indoor spraying with prompt treatment.
9,10 Since Tanzania became an independent country in 1961, a number of prevention, management, and control measures have been instituted. However, the initial period was marred in the confusion after cancellation of eradication efforts in 1961.
What I don't get is the fact that Tanzanians are not the only peole with mosquitos. There are actually some pretty big ones if you go to Canada but there's no big Malaria burden
Africa just carries 90% of the burden. All I am saying is that malaria can be defeated.
I contimplated sharing this pic..and I'm not sure of it's origine...I hope to not offend but to make aware, of the evil that takes place in our world, and WHY we need to open our eyes to this, and FIGHT...to change it...violance isn't always the first means, however, is this why we have military?..should we mind our own bizz when it comes to knoiwng this? Does this really happen..YES..and worse...what can we do? while not oppressing the people of other lands...what can we do..please...tell me..
