He said that the Government appreciates the contribution of the Humanity Institute in strengthening the health sector through investment in human resources, infrastructure and medical equipment, while emphasizing the importance of strengthening sustainable health systems instead of relying on short-term programs.

In another move, the Humaniti Institute has presented President, Dr. Mwinyi with a check for 503 million shillings for the purchase of medical equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases in children.
The Chief Executive Officer of Humaniti, Mr. Firaaz Azeez, has commended the significant progress in the health sector in Zanzibar after visiting Lumumba, Chumbuni and Magomeni Hospitals.
