NB: TUNAOMBA SENIOR DOCTORS WATAKAOKUWA TAYARI KUJITOLEA KUYAONGOZA HAYA MAKUNDI ILI KAMA KUTAKUWA NA ACTIVITY AMA KUANDIKA PROPOSAL THEN THEY CAN HAVE SOME WHOM THEY ARE REPORTING TO.

SOME RECOMENDATIONS OUT OF THE DISCUSSION

1.    kupelekwa barua sehemu mbalimbali kwa mfano makanisani, au sehemu zenye gathering kutoa huduma zinazohitajika kwa akina mama ili kuweza ku-create awareness.
2.    Utoaji wa taarifa utumie njia ambazo zinaweza kuwafikia watu wa vijijini
3.    Utoaji wa elimu sehemu ambazo ziko pembezoni mwa dar-es-salaam. Kwani kuna matatizo makubwa ya afya na watu hawana elimu sahihi kuhusu masuala ya afya.
4.    Kuundwa kwa kamati ya wanafunzi ambayo itakuwa inahusika moja kwa moja na wanafunzi wa MD na DDS- this was done
5.    To form groups among students katika areas of interest, the group should preferably include students from different universities- under process
6.    Tutuoe elimu pia vyuo vingine mf IFM, CBE, UDSM kuhusu masuala ya afya na hasa jinsi ya kujichunguza saratani ya matiti na create awareness kuhusu saratani ya shingo ya uzazi
7.    We should also talk and create health risk associated with some bad practices in the community eg. KUJICHUBUA, ubandikaji wa lens machoni, utumiaji wa dawa za kuongeza maumbile nk-hija hamad-md2 muhas
8.    Kutoa elimu vijijini kwa kuelimish akupitia heath centers, michezo, ngoma ili kuwafikia walio wengi-shani shamsi, md3 hkmu
9.    Discuss some social issues among us students and our seniors..the se are to be identified and be discussed in some social events which could be organized
