What are healthcare services like in Dar es Salaam?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Dar es Salaam. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Dar es Salaam, are a mix of public and private facilities, with the public sector facing challenges such as inadequate funding, limited resources, and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. The private sector offers better quality services, but they are often expensive and inaccessible to the majority of the population. Primary healthcare is provided through a network of dispensaries, health centers, and hospitals, while specialized care is available at tertiary hospitals. Despite efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure, the city still struggles with issues such as long waiting times, overcrowding, and a high burden of communicable diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Additionally, there is a growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, putting further strain on the healthcare system," wrote a member who made the move to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
