Tanzanian Health Minister visits Kenya

The announcement came during a state visit by Tanzanian Health Minister Dorothy Gwajima.

Together with her delegation, the Tanzanian State official held consultative meetings with her Kenyan counterpart as well as other top ministry official.

Promising to divulge details of the talks, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe revealed that Kenya and Tanzania has closed a bilateral agreement.

"This bilateral engagement goes a long way not only to emphasize the value of good health but also to confirm and even cement the cordial relationship the two countries have enjoyed over the years.

"Following the meetings, we have resolved several issues pertaining to the fight against Covid-19 which, are contained in a joint communique that we are going to share out with you. The areas we have tackled include cross border issues that involve citizens of both countries such as transport, Covid- 19 testing and validation systems for those leaving and entering both countries among other issues," CS Kagwe told reporters at Afya House.

He added: "It goes without saying that with a healthy nation everything else is possible. But with a sick country there is nothing that can be fruitful whether in development, politics or even social life," CS Kagwe stated.
