Jumuiya ya Al-Yousuf imeahidi kujenga nyumba mia nne (400) za mkopo nafuu katika kijiji cha Kiuyu, Wilaya ya Micheweni Pemba. Mwenyekiti wa Jumuiya hiyo Sheikh Al-Youseif ametoa ahadi hiyo alipokuwa na mazungumzo na Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, Ofisini kwake Migombani. Amesema mradi huo wa ujenzi wa nyumba pamoja na ule wa kilimo, inalenga kukibadilisha kijiji hicho kuwa cha kisasa na chenye maendeleo. Amefahamisha kuwa Jumuiya yake imeshawishika kuanzisha miradi hiyo ya maendeleo, baada ya kuona kuwa wananchi wa kijiji hicho wanaishi katika mazingira magumu. Sheikh Al-Youseif ameeleza kuwa tayari juhudi za ukusanyaji wa fedha kwa ajili ya ujenzi huo zimeshaanza kuchukuliwa, sambamba na kuimarisha kilimo cha umwagiliaji ambacho kimebainika kustawi vyema katika eneo hilo. “Tumefanya uchunguzi tukabaini kuwa ardhi ya Kiuyu ni ya jiwe sehemu ya juu, lakini chini ni nzuri na yenye rutba, na kwamba inakubali kustawisha kilimo cha aina mbali mbali hasa cha mboga mboga”, alifafanua Sheikh Al-Youseif. Katika hatua nyengine Sheikh Al-Youseif amekabidhi shehena ya nguo za aina mbali mbali kwa ajili ya wakaazi wa kijiji hicho cha Kiuyu Micheweni. Nguo hizo ni pamoja na vitambaa kwa ajili ya wanawake, surauli, na shati, ikiwa na lengo la kuwasaidia wananchi hao. Aidha ameiomba serikali kupitia Ofisi ya Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais kumpatia orodha ya wanafunzi wote wa Kiuyu ili aweze kuwapatia sare za skuli. Nae Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad ameishukuru Jumuiya ya Al-Youseif kwa misaada yake kwa Zanzibar na kwamba inasaidia kupunguza tatizo la umaskini nchini. Amesema uamuzi wa kutoa kipaumbele kwa kijiji cha Kiuyu ni sahihi, kwani ni miongoni mwa vijiji vilivyoachwa nyuma kimaendeleo kwa kipindi kirefu. Ameeleza kuwa mradi wa kilimo ulioanzishwa katika kijiji hicho utakuwa chachu ya maendeleo, na kuwaomba wakaazi wa eneo hilo kuuenzi na kuuendeleza kwa juhudi zao zote ili uweze kuleta mafanikio. Ameahidi kusimamia ugawaji wa nguo hizo ili kuhakikisha kuwa zinawafikia walengwa na kufikia lengo lililokusudiwa. Hassan Hamad, OMKR. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Philips launches “Fabric of Africa” a campaign focused on raising awareness around non-communicable diseases (NCDs), maternal and child health and strengthening of healthcare systems - Philips reaches out to key stakeholders, in Africa and globally, to improve healthcare access across the continent - Campaign showcases the need to collaborate to strengthen healthcare systems</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 <a href="http://www.philips.com/FabricofAfrica">AMSTERDAM</a>, Netherland, February 27, 2013/ -- Royal Philips Electronics has launched “Fabric of Africa” - a collaborative campaign to drive public-private partnerships and to improve healthcare access across the continent. The main intention of the campaign is to develop meaningful partnerships with local and international stakeholders to improve healthcare delivery in the areas of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), maternal and child health, and healthcare infrastructure, delivery and clinical training. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about the campaign, Peter van de Ven, General Manager, Philips Healthcare Africa, said: “Creating effective healthcare solutions in Africa requires not only innovative solutions but also the ability to facilitate connections among suitable resources, people and technologies. Our campaign is about teaming up with key stakeholders, including governments, NGOs and the private sector, to create sustainable public-private partnerships”. The Philips Fabric of Africa campaign focuses on women as the ‘fabric’ of Africa and uses this theme to highlight the importance of healthy women and the positive impact they have on the continent. The campaign reflects the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (specifically goals 4 and 5), focusing on three key areas: Maternal and child health In 2010 more women died in pregnancy in Sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else in the world, with the region accounting for more than half (56%) of the 287,000 deaths recorded globally (1). Child mortality is also high, with 29% of global neonatal deaths occurring in Africa (2). Non-communicable diseases (specifically breast, cervical & cardiac health) By 2021 more people will die from NCDs in Africa than anywhere else in the world, with an expected death rate of 27% compared to 17% globally (3). Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women in Africa, followed by breast cancer. Cardiovascular disease is the second most common cause of death in Africa after infectious diseases, accounting for 11% of total deaths. The main causes are smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight and high cholesterol (4). Infrastructure rehabilitation and clinical training In many African countries, there is a chronic shortage of healthcare infrastructure and suitable equipment and technology. Additionally, the lack of availability of trained and skilled healthcare professionals is an ongoing challenge to effective patient care. During the course of the campaign, Philips aims to introduce innovative, cost-appropriate health technologies and eHealth solutions to the African market. Through local and international partnerships, the company will provide financing solutions, technical assistance and support to strengthen health systems, and a training framework to increase the output of trained and skilled healthcare professionals in the continent. With a presence in Africa for over a century and a strong installed base of equipment, Philips has a unique understanding of the complexities of the diverse healthcare environments and a proven track record in delivering innovative healthcare solutions across the continent.
