DECLARATION
We,
Light Dream are the organization found in Mwanza City that conduct research to develop
and execute programmes that aim to improve basic needs and services across Education,
Health, environment conservation and WASH for reducing poverty.
OUR
CURRENT OPPORTUNITY
Problem worth solving
|
Our solution
|
Four cadres of health
face 77% deficit of health care workers for performing their tasks that meet
current high quality health care workers that can meet the needs of
Tanzania’s rural
communities and standard MGDs goals
to globally reduce mortality, and combat diseases rate.
As
stated above, the health sector in Tanzania is faced with a critical shortage
of human resources. The shortage of HRH is even more critical for laboratory
and biomedical engineering personnel, due mainly to the low number of
training colleges for these cadres, low college intake of laboratory
trainees, and brain drain over the years (MOHSW 2009).
|
We are implementing
Health Science Programmes to produce improved three crucial experts as well as Clinical Laboratory Technicians,
Medical Proficiency Assistants and Biomedical Scientists to handle changes in the
delivery of health care services
including the emphasis on ambulatory care, increased technology,
increased knowledge in health and illness, health care funding, and the
population growth.
|
Target Market
During the pilot
and scale up programmes, the Light Dream Organization by lunching Biomedical
Engineering Centre aim to offer courses and programmes leads to the award of Health
Science Foundation Certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees/degrees at
undergraduate levels starting in:
Biomedical Technology and/or scientists’ transparency accountability matter
Clinical/Medical
Proficiency Assisting;
Nutrition technology;
Clinical Laboratory Technicians.
As the number of laboratory training
schools is increased, it is important to note that there are currently no
biomedical engineering schools in the country. However, the CDC is
collaborating with the Dar Es Salaam Institute of Technology to roll out a new
biomedical training course. This course will be available to laboratory
technicians that are diploma level and above. Training and recruitment of biomedical
engineering personnel in Tanzania is essential in order to keep pace with the
rapid change in diagnostic technology and the development of an increasing
number of automated, sophisticated laboratory equipment. As globally approved
technologies as tools are adopted and rolled out by various programs and
interventions in the country there is a critical need to assess their efficacy
and effectiveness in the local settings.
Encouraging research in these areas, as
well as long-term monitoring and evaluation of laboratory diagnostic practices,
is necessary (MOHSW 2009).
Under the National Health Laboratory
Strategic Plan 2009, one of the objectives is to enhance research, training,
recruitment and retention mechanisms for laboratory and biomedical engineering
professionals. The plan’s targets include the expansion of diploma schools, and
advocacy for establishment of at least three certificate laboratory training
schools in each zone by 2015. Other targets include accelerated programs for
the creation of laboratory tutors and increased recruitment by sensitizing
secondary school students to the importance of joining laboratory training
programs (MOHSW 2009).
Market size: 77% across four
cadres that contribute to the health care workers deSficit of (49%) as a
whole and the skilled health care workers deficit of 55%. This is as per
2013-2014 CCHPs analysis for the fewer council. The report shows that the most
affected cadre is of Biomedical Technologists.
Light Dream Organization (LiDO) will engage the suitable
Students differently from how they will reach the apt community health demand in
Tanzania. Even the wage may be higher, depending on education and experience,
i.e. Multilingual Background, and additional credentials which match the Ministry of Health
and Social Welfare (MoHSW), with the Medical Council of Tanganyika being
responsible for accreditation and licensing needs.
Scale up
strategy
From the beginning the programme would need to receive one-to-three-years
certificate; diploma, degree and/or associate degree clearance from the MOHSW to
be accredited through the NACTE/ NTA system and the same. Major inputs required
for the programme enhancement include additional student housing, increase
classes from four up to twenty four classes per site in year five to embrace
288 per annum, and teaching material, including IT equipment. Health facilities (health centers, dispensaries
and laboratories) will be lunched in the remote areas. We will focus on creation of biomedical
and laboratory tutors; and increased recruitment by sensitizing secondary
school students to the importance of joining laboratory and biomedical training
programs. The application process would be improved. Transfer
student, programme and human resources agreements would be available with the
other institutions/universities.
Competitors
For Health Science
Programmes that produce Biomedical Technologist, Clinical/Medical
Proficiency Assistant, Nutritionists and Clinical Laboratory Technicians, there are over six other health
education and services institutions that provide to the same professional and
personnel market. The majors are Ruaha University College
Medical Laboratory Sciences School (RUCO), St. Bakhita Nursing School, Iringa
and Singida Health Laboratory Assistant Training Centre, Mbeya Assistant
Medical Officer Training Centre, and Tanga Assistant Medical Officer Training
Centre and Kolandoto acting in conjunction with Consultant, Referral Hospitals
or equivalent venue with adequate facilities and resources for theory and
health sciences teaching. Therefore,
Light Dream Organization has focused on conducted research by I-TECH on these
firms together the facts for explaining why we are different and what gives us
a competitive advantage. We have elaborated more deeply in our full curriculum
and business plans. This section is just to show that we are aware of our
competitors and show why we’re better or different.
