Dear Justin:
(1) Many thanks for your msg
(ATTACHMENT I below).
Dear Professor N. H. Mvungi:
(2) It is my quite honor and privilege to be introduced to you by H.E., Dr.
Justin Seruhere.
Pls convey my best personal regards to Dr. H.M.Twaakyondo and Mr. Honest C. Kimaro
(see Attachment II below) of your university when you will meet
with them next time.
Pls also convey my and PacoÕs
(our colleague) best wished to Dr. Mpoki Tenende, when you meet with him — he was introduced
us by our colleague Mr. Dan Molina in Houston, and met him at La Gardia Airport in New York a few years ago. He was
with IBM in South Africa, and was willing to introduce our GEWS/GUS project to
the cloud service of the IBM supercomputer.
(3) As mentioned in the last para of the Reference
(a) above, Kilimanjaro is in your Tanzania and it is the very source of water
of Nile River. GEWS project through broadband Internet via optical fiber
network along the Nile River basin countries would provide a water management
scheme — people in Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, etc., have already
indicated their interest in working on this issue — see the References
(d) and (e) above.
We very welcome your joining in our GEWS/GUS projects. As mentioned in
those references, pls start preparing to construct
socio-economic-energy-environmental simulation models of your Tanzania —
preferably in system dynamics methodology (*). These models will then be
inter-linked with the similar ones in nearby countries for co-prosperity with
proper water management in Nile River basin countries.
(*) You
may visit the web of Millennium Institute, which is our major partner at
<www.millennium-institute.org>.
(4) Currently, our effort is concentrated in the ECOWAS countries — see
References (f), (g) and (h) above. However, you may join in our ÒGlobal
Lecture Hall (GLH)Ó multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia, interactive
videoconferencing through your web accessing. We will distribute its
press release in next week, which will tell the contact person who can tell you
how to view it — and if you wish to raise a question, too.
(5) After this event, we will have a planning workshop at the GLORIAD at the
University of Tennessee in Knoxville (UTK) -- hopefully in this coming summer —
see the last page of the Reference (b) above.
We hope that we would become eligible to encourage our counterparts in
developing countries applying funds from the USAID.
With this fund, we hope our counterparts (like you) would hold a planning
workshop. At such time, you would then form task teams in various fields
of education, healthcare, agriculture, commerce, etc., etc..
They will then construct their 5 year projects
with sufficient system dynamics studies. The project proposals with
comprehensive budgets are combined together and be
submitted to the Japan Embassy through your Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the
Japanese ODA funds.
(6) According to todayÕs (March 16, 2013) Japanese newspaper, Mr. Kishida, the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced
the Japanese governmentÕs pledge for the TICAD-V (see Reference (i) above) in Yokohama, Japan, in June 1 to 3, 2013.
His announcement was made at the high-level preparation meeting in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia on March 16, 2013. The total amount of the pledged fund
is US$550 million which includes $190 million for
western part of Africa, etc.
Keep in touch.
Best, Tak

<<December 14, 2001>>KimaroÕs msg of today;
Dear Dr. Takeshi Utsumi, Chairman of the GLOSAS/USA
The young Department of Computer Science at the University of Dar es
Salaam-Tanzania in collaboration with various stakeholders envisages
to promote health through a computerised healthcare
system. The De-
partment is currently looking for interested partners
and support
from various sources so that it can develop and implement the system.
The rapid advances in Information and Communications Technologies
(ICTs)-especially the Internet- have raised the potential for transforming
health care services in Tanzania.
Tele-healthcare is the use of Information and Communications Technologies for
the transmission of information related to the diagnosis and treatment of
medical condition at a distance, exchange of professional experiences between
doctors and introducing new methods such as teleconferencing, etc.
It includes all aspects of health services including health promotion,
education, research, population data collection, preventive care and health
management.
The Tele-healthcare is one form of advanced information and telecommunications
technology that has a potential to deliver equitable access to high quality,
cost-effective healthcare and education for the under-served communities of
Tanzania.
The research programme strives to improve the
national health status and quality of life through relevant and excellent ICT
health research aimed at promoting equity and development.
In Tanzania, healthcare is provided to the society mainly by the public
hospitals. Normally, the public healthcare professionals do not have adequate
time to cross-examine patients due to a large numbers of patients to be
attended daily and ignorance of some patients.
Sharing of patient information among hospitals in Tanzania is crucial due to
its widespread and un-collaborative system of healthcare services; Tanzanian
patients are treated in various hospitals without their
past medical information being consulted. As a result, some patients are given
prescription that had already proved ineffective to them in the past or they
are allergic of, because of the lack of patient historical data. This,
therefore, calls for the need to have a computer-based health care system to
provide effective storage and timely delivery of the patient historical data at
any distance.
The proposed computer-based healthcare system will enable various healthcare
professionals and stakeholders to access and share electronic patient records
and related medical data wherever they are and in whatever system they are
held. The patient care will be distributed among different professionals in the
hospitals, for example, in managing patients with chronic diseases.
In addition, the healthcare system intends to provide effective storage
and automatic analysis of medical data to enable researchers, government, and
organizations identify the effectiveness of a particular medication and the
extent to which a particular disease has spread (e.g. HIV) in order to take
proper actions and other health statistical information.
The proposed computer based system is expected to protect privacy of the
patient; the storage and transfer of patient information must meet security and
confidentiality requirements specified by the Government of Tanzania and WHO.
In view of the above, we are enquiring if you can give any support to our
research and development efforts.
Thanking you in advance.
