Let Tanzanian doctors treat their patients first



Let Tanzanian doctors treat their patients first

The ratio of Tanzanian doctors to patients is much less than Kenyan counterparts,meaning in Tanzania there are fewer doctors than in Kenya. The Kenya crisis of doctors being on strike seems not ending soon. The Tanzanian doctors have said they will not come to work in Kenya. I wonder if it is a relief or a loss?In Tanzania the language used is kiswahili in schools and most of the bombastic medical jargon have been translated to kiswahili language. Now l can imagine a Kenyan woman in the rural areas being treated by a Tanzanian doctor. This may be a disaster because the Tanzanian doctors will utter the bombastic Tanzanian words while the Kenyan will be floating in the air. Tanzanian kiswahili is total different from Kenyan. When they will be writing the prescription, the pharmacist will be wondering how to translate the prescription to the recommended medicine and the ailment of the patient into English. We may be jumping from hot water to a frying pan. l truly wish the antagonism between the doctors and the government/governors can end soon. lt is hurting. Our church is praying for the reconciliation day and night. Let prayers intervene to rescue this situation.

Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo,

  Kiswahili: Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo, Ada ya mja hunena, mwungwana ni kitendo. It is customary for a slave to talk, but a free man acts. (Mja is only used in this way in this proverb, otherwise it would be - a foreigner) Adhabu ya kaburi, aijua maiti.  The torture of the grave is known only to the dead. (The one who wears the shoes knows where they pinch.One who has personally experienced poverty, need and suffering, knows how difficult life can be.)  Afua ni mbili, kufa na kupona.  Deliverance(from ill luck or disaster) is of two kinds, to die or to get better(live).  Afugaye ng’ombe tume, mwenye maziwa la kujaza. He who keeps a healthy cow will have plenty of milk.(If you are diligent, you will enjoy the fruit of your labour.) Ahadi ni deni. A promise is a debt.(A promise is binding. A trustworthy person keeps his word.)  Aibu ya maiti, aijua mwosha. The real shame of the dead is only known by the Moritician. (No man is a hero to his wife.You get to know the weak aspects

Sehemu ya pili itakuwa ni kiini cha swali ambapo tutajikita kuzielezea nadharia mbalimbali zinazozungumzia asili ya fasihi simulizi/masimulizi kwa mujibu wa Okpewho (1992), Miruka (1994/1999) na Finnegan (1970). Na sehemu  ya mwisho ni hitimisho.   Tukianza na fasili ya Nadharia, Massamba (2009:63) anasema, nadharia ni taratibu kanuni na misingi ambayo imejengwa katika muundo wa kimawazo kwa madhumuni ya kutumiwa kama kielelezo cha kuelezea jambo. Sarantakos (1997: 9) amefasili nadharia kama jambo linalofanywa na kuthibitishwa kwa utaratibu maalum kwa njia ya utafiti kwa ajili ya kuelezea jambo fulani katika jamii. Martin E. Amini (2005:10) anasema nadharia ni jumla ya mambo yote ambayo mtafiti amekusudia kuelezea, kuchambua, kuelewa au hata kutabiri jambo f
