Na: OWM–TAMISEMI, Arusha

Waziri wa Nchi, Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu – Tawala za Mikoa na Serikali za Mitaa (OWM–TAMISEMI), Mhe. Prof. Riziki Shemdoe, amesema Serikali itapokea na kufanyia kazi mapendekezo ya vijana yanayolenga kuboresha huduma za afya ya msingi katika zahanati, vituo vya afya na hospitali za wilaya, kupitia mfumo wa Serikali wa kupanga mipango kwa kushirikisha wananchi wa Fursa na Vikwazo kwa Maendeleo (O&OD).

Prof. Shemdoe amesisitiza umuhimu wa kusikiliza maoni ya vijana akieleza kuwa asilimia 90 ya vijana hupata huduma za afya katika vituo vya afya ya msingi. Hata hivyo, vijana wenye umri wa miaka 10–24, ambao ni asilimia 31 ya Watanzania milioni 61, bado wanakabiliwa na changamoto za huduma za afya zisizo rafiki kwao, ikiwemo mimba na ndoa za utotoni.

Prof. Shemdoe amesema hayo Oktoba 23, 2026, jijini Arusha, wakati akifungua mjadala unaoongozwa na vijana wa Tanzania kuhusu afya ya uzazi na afya ya akili, ulioandaliwa na Jumuiya ya Afya ya Afrika Mashariki, Kati na Kusini (ECSA).

“Niwatake vijana kutumia siku hizi mbili vizuri na kuja na mapendekezo yanayotekelezeka, yenye muda maalumu wa utekelezaji, ili yapimwe na, pale inapowezekana, yaandaliwe mipango na bajeti kwa ajili ya utekelezaji,” ameeleza Prof. Shemdoe.

Aidha, Prof. Shemdoe amesema Mhe. Rais Dkt. Samia Suluhu Hassan amewekeza fedha nyingi katika ujenzi wa miundombinu ya afya ya msingi, hivyo amewataka vijana kuilinda ili iendelee kuhudumia wananchi na vizazi vijavyo.

Pia, amewahimiza kupata elimu ya afya ya mama na mtoto ili kumuunga mkono Rais kwa vitendo, akimtaja kuwa kinara wa afya ya mama na mtoto barani Afrika.

Kwa upande wake, Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa ECSA, Dkt. Ntuli Kapologwe, amesema vijana wenye umri chini ya miaka 24 katika nchi wanachama wa jumuiya hiyo ni asilimia 65. Ameeleza kuwa kuwawezesha kupata elimu ya afya ya akili na afya ya uzazi kutasaidia kupunguza vifo vya kina mama na watoto, pamoja na kuhamasisha wanawake kujifungulia katika vituo vya kutolea huduma za afya.

Naye, Mwakilishi wa Vijana wa Mtandao wa ECSA, Dkt. Kuduishe Kisowile, amesema sehemu kubwa ya vifo vya kina mama inahusishwa na mimba za utotoni na za vijana ambao hawajafikia umri unaofaa. Ameeleza kuwa vijana watashiriki kujadili namna ya kuzuia vifo hivyo na kuimarisha ushirikiano kati ya wizara mbalimbali katika kutokomeza mimba za utotoni.

Mkutano huo umewakutanisha vijana takribani 200 kutoka mikoa yote ya Tanzania Bara na Visiwani kwa lengo la kujadili afya ya uzazi kwa vijana, afya ya akili na utekelezaji wa afua mbalimbali zinazosimamiwa na Rais Dkt. Samia Suluhu Hassan, zikiwemo kuhakikisha hakuna mama anayejifungua nyumbani, kupunguza vifo vinavyotokana na uzazi na kuhakikisha kila mtoto au mtu mzima anayehitaji chanjo anaipata.

SERIKALI YAOMBWA KUTOA KIPAUMBELE BIMA YA AFYA KWA WATOTO WENYE ULEMAVU

MICHUZI BLOG at Saturday, October 24, 2026 0

NA DENIS MLOWE, IRINGA

SERIKALI imeombwa kuhakikisha watoto wenye ulemavu na yatima wanaotoka katika familia zenye hali duni ya kiuchumi wanapewa kipaumbele katika upatikanaji wa bima ya afya, ili kuwawezesha kupata matibabu kwa wakati bila kuathiri hali ya kiuchumi ya familia zao.

Ombi hilo limetolewa na Mkurugenzi wa Taasisi isiyo ya Kiserikali ya Lebao’s Kids Foundation (BKF), Theophil Muyinga, wakati wa zoezi la kugawa bima za afya kwa watoto wenye ulemavu wanaohudumiwa na taasisi hiyo pamoja na watoto yatima kutoka kituo cha kulelea watoto yatima kilichopo Migoli, mkoani Iringa.

Zoezi hilo limeandaliwa na BKF kwa kushirikiana na Mfuko wa Bima ya Afya ya Jamii (CHF), ikiwa ni sehemu ya juhudi za kusaidia watoto wenye uhitaji kupata huduma za afya na kupunguza changamoto zinazowakabili wanapohitaji matibabu.

Muyinga amesema familia nyingi za watoto hao zinakabiliwa na hali ngumu ya kiuchumi, jambo linalozifanya kushindwa kumudu gharama za matibabu, hivyo umuhimu wa Serikali kuweka utaratibu utakaohakikisha watoto hao wanapata bima ya afya kwa kuzingatia mahitaji yao maalumu.

Amesema upatikanaji wa bima ya afya kwa watoto wenye ulemavu na yatima ni hatua muhimu katika kulinda afya zao na kuhakikisha changamoto za kifedha hazigeuki kuwa kikwazo cha kupata huduma za matibabu wanapougua.

Kwa upande wake, Mkurugenzi Mwenza wa BKF, Catherine Moreno, amesisitiza umuhimu wa kuendeleza juhudi za kusaidia watoto wenye uhitaji, akieleza kuwa upatikanaji wa huduma za afya ni miongoni mwa mahitaji muhimu yanayopaswa kuzingatiwa katika ustawi wa watoto hao.

Akijibu ombi hilo, Afisa Uandikishaji wa Mfuko wa Afya ya Jamii (CHF) katika Manispaa ya Iringa, Kokwiliza Katemana, amesema Serikali ina jukumu la kulinda afya za wananchi wake, huku watoto wakiwa miongoni mwa makundi yanayohitaji kupewa kipaumbele katika upatikanaji wa huduma za afya.

Katemana amesema katika awamu hii, Serikali imeweka mkazo katika kuwafikia watu wa makundi maalumu pamoja na kaya zisizo na uwezo wa kiuchumi, ili kuhakikisha nao wanapata fursa ya kunufaika na huduma za bima ya afya.

Amesema juhudi hizo zinalenga kupanua wigo wa wananchi wanaofikiwa na huduma za bima ya afya, hususan wale ambao hali zao za kiuchumi zinawafanya washindwe kugharamia matibabu wanapougua.

Utoaji wa bima hizo unatarajiwa kupunguza mzigo wa gharama za matibabu kwa watoto hao na familia zao, huku ukiwapa nafasi ya kupata huduma za afya kwa urahisi zaidi wanapokabiliwa na changamoto za kiafya.

Hatua hiyo inaendana na juhudi za Serikali za kutekeleza awamu ya pili ya mpango wa Bima ya Afya kwa Wote, unaolenga kupanua upatikanaji wa huduma za afya na kupunguza gharama za matibabu zinazobebwa na wananchi.

Kwa watoto wenye ulemavu na yatima kutoka familia zenye kipato cha chini, upatikanaji wa bima ya afya ni sehemu muhimu ya kuhakikisha wanapata huduma za matibabu bila kubaguliwa kutokana na hali zao za kiuchumi.

SportPesa brings Kariakoo Derby to Segerea as Simba stage historic 2-1 comeback

SportPesa brings Kariakoo Derby to Segerea as Simba stage historic 2-1 comeback

A SportPesa screening truck set up in Segerea gave supporters across the Dar es Salaam neighbourhood a shared view of Simba’s 2-1 comeback against Young Africans in the Kariakoo Derby. Yanga scored early at Uhuru stadium, then Simba hit back twice after the break. Simba’s win reshuffled the order at the top of the league table.

The SportPesa march coverage linked a local football gathering to a match that shaped the early league standings. Alongside the community screening, SportPesa Tanzania provides live football markets through its digital platform, where eligible adults can view available in-play betting options. Yanga held their one-goal lead through half-time, then Simba used the second half to take the match back with two strikes.

Yanga struck first, but Simba turned the match around

Peter Shalulile put Yanga ahead in the fifth minute after an attacking move involving Maxi Nzengeli, with more than 80 minutes still to play. Simba found no way back before the interval, so Yanga went in at half-time with a 1-0 lead. That left Simba the whole second half to recover.

Neo Maema equalised for Simba in the second half, and Elie Mpanzu then put them ahead with the winner. Both goals turned a one-goal deficit into a 2-1 victory. SportPesa’s match report on Simba’s comeback records the full sequence and a result that meant more for the title race.

“Football in Tanzania is about more than what happens inside the stadium. The Kariakoo Derby brings supporters together across communities, and our screening experience in Segerea was about bringing that shared passion closer to fans. Moments like Simba’s comeback show why local football continues to create such strong connections among supporters” said SportPesa Tanzania Head of Marketing Tracy Humplick.

The truck took the action to Segerea’s doorstep

The Segerea screening offered the match a viewing point other than Uhuru Stadium. The truck delivered the broadcast to the neighborhood so supporters could watch the same match together. The screen brought the action from the pitch to a local gathering while the outcome was still hanging in the balance.

Shared viewing changes the context in which people follow football. Everyone is watching the same game at the same time, so every goal and missed opportunity becomes something for the whole crowd to talk about as it happens. In Segerea, supporters came together for a domestic fixture that mattered to fans of both clubs.

Live bets moves with a changing match

SportPesa’s Live bets covers betting on a changing match once play starts, as the score and the clock keep moving. It differs from betting before the teams take the field. The encounter showed how the picture can shift. Yanga led at the interval, yet Simba ended the night with all three points.

Live football markets track a match that is still unfolding, rather than a final score. Segerea’s screening and SportPesa live betting covered two different sides of the same matchday. The truck showed supporters the game live, while Live bets handled the real time in-play betting.

Three clear points for Simba after the victory

Simba had not won a league meeting against Yanga since April 2023. Mpanzu’s winner ended a wait of three and a half years. Supporters in Segerea watched that wait end on a truck screen rather than from the stands.

The win lifted Simba to 21 points in the Tanzania Premier League, three clear of Yanga. A gap that size is small this early in the season, and one result can erase it. Yanga has plenty of matches left to do exactly that.

Conclusion

Simba’s 2-1 comeback against Yanga will be remembered for more than its impact on the NBC Premier League table. The result ended a league victory drought stretching back to April 2023. The SportPesa screening in Segerea gave local supporters a chance to experience the rivalry together, away from the stands at Uhuru Stadium.

For SportPesa Tanzania, the screening reflects the role football can play in connecting the brand with communities through shared sporting experiences. From Yanga’s early lead to Simba’s dramatic second-half turnaround, the Kariakoo Derby showed how one match can bring a neighbourhood together. It created memories that last beyond the final whistle.
