Dar es Salaam. The government’s decision to order a probe into service delivery failures at Temeke Regional Referral Hospital has reignited a wider debate about the state of public healthcare facilities and whether the problems cited are isolated or symptomatic of deeper, systemic weaknesses.
The probe follows mounting complaints from patients and members of the public, aired largely on social media, over what they described as poor services at the hospital, including allegations that X-ray machines had been switched off, forcing patients to seek diagnostic services elsewhere.
