Mwinyi expressed his gratitude to see Turkish volunteer doctors in his country. He said: “I always describe myself as half Turkish and I appreciate your voluntary works in Tanzania.” He mentioned that these voluntary health services would build and strengthen friendship bridges between the two countries. He thanked to the volunteer doctors. Mwinyi also underlined the fact that Tanzania needed more doctors.

President of Fatih University Dr. Şerif Ali Tekalan and president of Hacettepe University Dr. Murat Tuncer stated that they would support Tanzania in any way they could do, for example, by admitting in their universities more students from Tanzania.
