TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL, OPERATIONAL AND HEALTH SYSTEMS RESEARCH TRAINING IN AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS (ICOHRTA) is one of MUHAS HARVARD RESEARCH PROJECTS that intends to train a critical mass of researchers in Tanzania in the area of HIV/TB diseases implementation research. ICOHRTA will train future leaders in epidemiological, operations and health services, and clinical research related to these two major infectious diseases.

Tanzania is one of the most affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa by HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB). As a result of HIV/AIDS, life expectancy declined from 56 years to 40 years. Even though Tanzania is regarded as having a successful TB program, TB is still one of the leading causes of hospital admissions and death. There is an urgent need to scale up the implementation of known interventions for prevention, care and treatment of these infections. Improving the national capacity for implementation research sciences is imperative to maximize the output from the infusion of large sums of funding into control of HIV and TB through the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria; the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and other bilateral and multilateral initiatives.

The ICOHRTA programme is offering opportunities and financial support to qualified Tanzanians to pursue Masters of Public Health (MPH) or Doctorate Studies (PhD) at Muhimbili University of Health and allied Sciences (MUHAS) as well as at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

Saudi King urges U.N. action against religious insults

Saudi King Abdullah urged the United Nations to produce a resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after the anti-Islam film in the U.S. that sparked deadly protests in many Muslim countries last month. (AFP) By AFP, MINA/SAUDI ARABIA Saudi King Abdullah on Saturday demanded a U.N. resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after a low-budget film produced in the U.S. sparked deadly protests last month. “I demand a U.N. resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets,” he said during a meeting at his palace with religious figures and heads of hajj delegations in the Mina valley where pilgrims were performing final rituals of hajj. “It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets.” A low-budget film produced in the U.S., Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging ...
