Tanzania, What A Swell Place!

Tanzania began nationalizing their healthcare system in 1975.

Private medial practice was outlawed in 1980.

You can read a bit about it here.

Recently, the Tanzanian Prime Minister, Mizengo Pinda, ordered the suspension of issuance of licenses to traditional healers.

You can read about this here and here.

So, not to make too much light of the plight of these truly unfortunate people, but I’m left wondering about something. 

Are the services of these traditional “healers” covered under their nationalized healthcare scheme?????

Godspeed to you, Mr. Pinda.  I don’t think you need to appologize at all for your remarks.  If anything, they do not go far enough!
