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.
