Visitors to the Geita Mining and Technology Exhibition wait patiently at the Geita Referral Hospital pavilion to register for cancer screening services and receive information from medical professionals. The service, provided free of charge by the Geita Referral Hospital in collaboration with the Geita Gold Mining Company Limited (GGML), includes cervical, breast and prostate cancer screening.

The Sixth Geita Mining and Technology Exhibition has continued to benefit the residents of Geita and it's surrounding communities after the residents flocked to the EPZ Grounds, Bombambili, Geita to receive education as well as undergo cancer screening.

The service, which continues to be provided free of charge by the Geita Referral Hospital in collaboration with the Geita Gold Mining Company Limited (GGML), includes cervical, breast and prostate cancer screening.

The move has come as we head into the month of October, which is traditionally observed around the world as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Speaking to this reporter at the pavilion at the Bombambili Grounds -EPZ in Geita, one of the residents, Neema Mgase, who lives in Nyamalembo - Geita Region, apart from the services she received, advised residents of the region to take advantage of these services considering that they are free. "Women go through various challenges including childbirth and others, that's why I decided to come and get checked.

"A call to other companies is to help the Tanzanian community, many of whom have limited financial resources, to invest in services like this to improve the health of the community," she said.

Masele Athuman, a resident of Nyantorotoro A, said he was motivated to get tested for prostate cancer because at his age he is at risk of a number of cancers.

"We are grateful to GGML for helping us, the people of Geita, and now that they are the main sponsor for this exhibition, I call on other companies to partner with GGML for the development of the people of Geita.

The primary goal of the lender’s initiative is to accelerate the availability of improved housing options throughout the country.

The campaign launch event, took place in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday and was attended by various stakeholders such as the Tanzania Mortgage Refinance Company Limited (TMRC), CPS, a real estate developer in Tanzania, Nabaki Afrika Limited, retailers and wholesalers of building products and construction materials, government officials, customers, and employees of the bank.

This, in turn, stimulates economic circulation through the purchase of materials and generates revenue for the government through taxes on water and electricity usage within these homes. As a result, this campaign presents vast economic opportunities across the entire construction industry value chain," he explained.
