There is no scheme for health care in Tanzania, and in most rural areas provision for health care is rudimentary to put it mildly. Mdabulo hospital is also in Mufindi district and serves 19 villages with a population of more than 35,000. There are 2 wards with no bedding other than a mattress and a sheet; no curtains and only broken glass in the windows. Given that there is frost at night in the winter at this altitude, it is very cold for the patients. The hospital is staffed by a Rural Medical Officer (not a qualified doctor), helped by 3 nurses. They receive no financial or material help from the government and have to pay rent to the Mission whose building they occupy. The only drugs available are those bought with income from treatments. |
