COMORO: EXIM Bank, in collaboration with the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI), has conducted joint medical camps in Comoro, expanding access to essential cardiac care and promoting Tanzania’s medical expertise on the international stage.

“The joint medical camps have provided Comoros residents with much-needed cardiac screenings, diagnosis and treatment options that were previously limited or inaccessible locally,” he said.
