Health - NESODO

HEALTH AND WELLNESS INITIATIVE 2021 – 2022

Funded By: IPEN (International Pollutants Elimination Network)

Implemented By: NESODO

Date: 15th to 20th November 2021

Nyamagana, Mwanza, Tanzania

Context: National Health & COVID-19

In 2007, the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDEC) issued the National Health Policy to promote improved health care and services for all people in Tanzania. The mission was to facilitate the provision of basic health services that are of good quality, equitable, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and gender-sensitive.

COVID-19 was initially reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 31, 2019. In the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the worst health and wellness crises in modern history. Prevention is important during this period where vaccination awareness is still ongoing. The absence of enough preventive equipment within the society and inadequate preventive education are problems which can increase the spread of COVID-19 if no rapidly measures are taken.
