Speech at the 39th Scientific Conference and Annual Gathering Meeting of the Medical Association of Tanzania

"This 39th Scientific Conference and the Annual General Meeting of the Medical Association of Tanzania will be addressing matters of major importance not only to you as health professionals but also to the people of this region as a whole. Indeed, it is an important undertaking to have major stakeholders such as yourselves devoting themselves to addressing a menacing pandemic such as HIV-AIDS as well as malaria, while at the same time looking into the health care systems and capacity enhancement in the delivery of health services." - Dr. Salim, October 27, 2004
