What you need to know:
Tanzanians can now be able to save up to 83 per cent of what they spend on specialised neurosurgical operations abroad as such services will now be available at the Muhimbili Orthopaedic Institute (MOI).
A patient will pay only Sh10 million to undergo a neurosurgical operation at MOI, a massive drop from the Sh60 million that one pays to undergo such an operation abroad.
