Godfrey Zambi, Food, Agriculture, and Cooperatives Deputy Minister
Speaking at the ongoing ‘Nanenane’ agricultural exhibitions at
Ngongo village in Lindi region on Monday, Zambi said NHIF should help
Tanzanians in rural areas know their health status so they can
participate fully in agricultural production.
“Your plan of expanding to rural areas will be a better opportunity
for rural dwellers to get an opportunity to understand their health
status,” he said.
The deputy minister further said providing free of charge health
check-ups would help improve production in agriculture, fisheries and
industries.
"I must congratulate NHIF for their work, because prevention is
better than cure, once people know their health status and get proper
treatment they are likely to stay healthy and actively participate in
production and push forward the country’s development,” said Zambi.
Meanwhile, NHIF Marketing and Research Director, Rafael Mwamoto
said they are determined to improve health services throughout the
country. He said currently, NHIF provides services countrywide and also
have branches in some rural areas.
He said NHIF will ensure that all Tanzanians have medical insurance
to enable them access proper medical services whenever they fall ill,
“I would like to appeal to all Tanzanians to join NHIF because it is a
safe and easy way to get medical treatment.”
