Premier Majaliwa lauds CCBRT services

PRIME Minister Kassim Majaliwa has commended the Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT) Hospital for supporting needy people with disabilities.

Mr Majaliwa said the sixth phase government under the stewardship of President Samia Suluhu Hassan was recognising contributions of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) in the country.

The premier was speaking shortly after visiting the CCBRT pavilion during the NGOs Annual General Meeting here on Wednesday.

He said the hospital was playing a key role in provision of health services in Tanzania and that its contribution in the health sector was significant.

“We salute you (CCBRT Hospital) for your support to the needy people with disabilities. We really appreciate because the government alone cannot do everything without NGOs involvement,” he explained.

During the meeting, CCBRT Hospital donated nine wheel chairs to different needy people with disabilities.

He said it was an undoable fact that CCBRT has been working very closely with the government for the growth and betterment of the health sector.

Earlier, CCBRT Hospital Managing Director, Brenda Msangi said her institution in collaboration with its partners will continue to improve the infrastructures of health service delivery and support needy people.

“CCBRT Hospital is taking seriously the NGOs Annual General Meeting as an important platform to showcase our services and products to Tanzanians,” she said.

One of the beneficiaries of the wheelchairs donation, Ms Chipegwa Zayeye, hailed CCBRT Hospital’s assistance, saying that it was timely and helpful.

“I am very happy and thank God for this wheelchair. It will be very useful in my life,” Ms Chipegwa said, calling for other institutions to borrow a leaf from CCBRT.
