Dr. Margaretha Sariko and Happy Olemoti attended a workshop on the development and coordination of mechanisms for integrated surveillance of endemic and emerging foodborne pathogens, held from October 15–17, 2025, at Mount Meru, Arusha. The workshop, organized by the #PrimeMinisterOffice (Policy, Parliament, and Coordination) in collaboration with the FAO, aimed to develop procedures for integrated surveillance of foodborne pathogens that pose significant health risks. These efforts will strengthen the capacity of key stakeholders in food safety monitoring, reporting, and rapid response to outbreaks caused by hazardous foodborne pathogens #FoodSafety #PublicHealth #OneHealth #FoodbornePathogens #IntegratedSurveillance #FAO #KCRI #HealthSecurity #RapidResponse #HealthWorkshops Wizara ya Afya Tanzania Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College

This study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to address gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to breast cancer among healthcare providers (HCPs) and traditional healers (THs) in Tanzania. Strengthening clinical training, developing supportive policies, enhancing public awareness through accurate information, and promoting research on cultural and systemic barriers are vital to improving early diagnosis, timely referrals, and patient outcomes. A collaborative approach that integrates traditional and biomedical health systems can help build a more effective and inclusive cancer care framework in Tanzania.
