35 patients to undergo free surgery at the Aga Khan Hospital Dar es Salaam | The Citizen Tanzania

By Saumu Mwalimu for The Citizen. Dar es Salaam, January 10, 2016 — At least 35 women and children will undergo free reconstructive surgery during a three-day clinical camp at the Aga Khan Hospital (AKH) in Dar es Salaam starting from today.

The surgery, which usually costs about Sh150,000 to Sh2 million in major public hospitals, including Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH), targets ordinary Tanzanians.

Briefing reporters at the camp yesterday, AKH regional chief executive officer Sulaiman Shahabuddin said the surgery would involve people with various disabilities caused by fire accidents, who failed to afford reconstructive surgery when they were treated.
