Frequently asked questions about this program
TANNA conducted a comprehensive community needs assessment in collaboration with local leaders and health authorities. We identified underserved areas around Mloganzila with limited access to preventive healthcare services and high prevalence of non-communicable diseases.
All 25 nursing professionals involved were licensed registered nurses with additional training in community health, health education, and screening protocols. Many had specialized experience in non-communicable disease management and community outreach programs.
We established a systematic referral system with Muhimbili National Hospital - Mloganzila for individuals requiring specialized care. TANNA nurses provided follow-up consultations and health education, while maintaining detailed records to track health outcomes and program effectiveness.
We worked closely with traditional healers, religious leaders, and community elders to ensure our approach respected local customs and beliefs. All materials were provided in both English and Swahili, and our health education incorporated traditional health practices where appropriate.
TANNA has developed a replicable model that includes community assessment tools, training materials, and implementation guidelines. We offer technical assistance and training to other nursing associations and healthcare organizations interested in implementing similar community health screening programs.
