GGML EMPLOYEES UNDERGO FREE CANCER SCREENING

The hospital, in collaboration with GGML, is providing free education and screening services for prostate, cervical and breast cancer at the Sixth Geita Mining & Technology Exhibition.

Deogratias Keeka (right), a laboratory specialist at Geita Referral Hospital, advises GGML driver, Andrew Elias about the screening services on offer.

In a bid to motivate the community in the fight against cancer, Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML) employees turned up at the sixth Geita Mining & Technology Exhibition to receive vital information and be screened for various cancers. The education and screening services for cervical, breast and prostate cancer are being provided free of charge by the Geita Regional Referral Hospital in collaboration with GGML at the Bombambili site in the Geita Economic Zone (EPZA).

Dk. Pasclates Ijumba, Medical Services Coordinator at the Geita Referral Hospital, says they decided to provide these services to curb the effects of cancer, especially for citizens who are afraid to be screened due to misconceptions in the society.

He cites the example of the cervical cancer vaccine, which is given to young girls; some communities prohibit their girls from receiving the vaccine because they have not been properly educated about it.

"In the same way, for men, regarding the prostate examination, many think that until they are tested by an expert to palpate the prostate, I would like to dispel their fears about this because now there is a special blood test instead of a finger test," he said, adding that some of GGML's workers have been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

After visiting the pavilion of Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML), the main sponsor of the exhibition again this year, he also visited the pavilion that provides education and cancer screening services to all citizens in Geita region.

Shayo also received information from Dr. Pasclates Ijumba, Coordinator of Medical Services at the Geita Referral Hospital, who emphasised that early detection through the screening services on offer at the exhibition is key to the treatment of potential cancers.

"We are calling on people to take advantage of this opportunity, especially considering that the problem of cancer is still growing every year, so it is good to get screened and treated early and treat it completely, but if it is delayed, it is not curable and its treatment is a big cost to our society," he said.

• Aims to increase access to finance and drive Financial Inclusion in the country

Dar es Salaam, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 – In a strategic move to reach the country's unbanked population and enhance financial inclusion, Absa Bank Tanzania has officially launched Agency Banking services under the name Absa Wakala.

With a network of 15 branches across 10 regions and a network of 63 ATMs nationwide, the launch of Absa Wakala will enable Absa customers to access financial services at any time and from anywhere at their convenience. The introduction of Absa Wakala aligns with the bank's new purpose of "Empowering Africa's tomorrow, together – one story at a time," as it brings financial services closer to customers, particularly increasing financial inclusion among the unbanked population in various regions of our country.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam while announcing the launch of Absa Wakala, Absa Bank Tanzania Managing Director, Obedi Laiser, mentioned that the bank will continue to leverage technology and innovation in its service delivery to consistently provide unparalleled customer experience in the Tanzanian banking industry. "This is part of our mission as a financial institution to embark on 'Empowering Africa's tomorrow, together – one story at a time,' to help the continent overcome its socioeconomic challenges.

"Low incomes, high banking costs, lengthy procedures, and the obvious lack of extensive banking networks have deprived many Tanzanians of the valuable financial services provided by banks, thereby hindering our country's development," Mr. Laiser added. "As a bank, we are committed to ensuring that reliable banking services are easily accessible, and the Agency Banking model offers the right solution that the financial services industry needs."

"The Agency Banking model will provide a uniquely positioned and profitable avenue to serve the unbanked population within the existing banking environment, ultimately contributing to the bank's customer growth by reaching the retail market and attracting customers from the bottom of the pyramid," said Mr. Laiser, adding that all Absa Bank Tanzania customers can access banking services through approved agents available nationwide starting today.

Absa Wakala not only eliminates the need for customers to travel long distances for services but also makes it more affordable for them to access our products and services.

The comprehensive Absa banking services offered through Agency Banking include Card-based Withdrawal Transactions, Cardless Deposits, Card-based Deposits, Card-based Mini Statements, Card-based Balance Enquiries, and Card-based Funds Transfers (Absa to Absa). "These comprehensive services will be offered by our agents through the current phase we are launching today; subsequently, the bank is committed to continue enhancing the proposition by rolling out additional services given our adaptive to technology advances and innovations and will gradually expand our offering through this channel," Mr. Laiser stated.
