Healthy population is a population
that can participate in their country's
development efforts. Tanzania being
a developing country need more than
anything else a good health services
delivery system to ensure a healthy
population. To this end the government
has opted for the cut and dried western
medicine approach, although, the population
still has access to traditional medicine
as an alternative.

It is increasingly becoming fashionable
for parents to put children through
pre-schools prior to their joining primary
school education. This way children
are prepared for the world of competition
in primary education and the life beyond.
Normally, children who have been put
through pre-schools have an edge over
their peers. Pre-schools give instruction
to children of the age group of 5 to
6 years. Parents who wish to prepare
their 3 to 4 years old children for
pre-schools can send them to daycare
centres where the principal purpose
is not literary or numeracy but to predispose
them for pre-school education.

Mwanza as one of the country's northern
most regions. Together with Mara in the east
and Kagera to the west they form a ring of roads
around Lake Victoria which connect to Kenya
and Uganda, both which countries are fellow
members of the East African Community. Mwanza
region is crucially placed to play a key role
in the development of such a ring network around
the lake. Already an all-weather tarmac trunk
road connects Mwanza to the Kenya Republic via
Mara region. The western wing via Kagera region
to the Republic of Uganda is yet to be developed
to tarmac standards.
