The Ministry of Health has said it will continue to cooperate with the Chinese Government in improving the health of its citizens.
This was stated by the Director of Prevention and Health Education, Dr. Salim Slim, when he was opening the exercise of health testing for the employees of Zanzibar Airports Authority (ZAA), an exercise conducted by a team of doctors from China.
He said, health testing for public servants is an excellent and important thing as it will even help to increase productivity in institutions after recognizing their health on the responsibility of responsibilities.
In addition, he said, recognizing the health of employees will enable the employer to increase efficiency, especially in the implementation of various operational responsibilities at their workplaces.
“If the employee will be in good health then he/she will help to increase production in the institution so employees should measure their health to increase efficiency”.
Also the Head of Medicine from China, Professor Jiang Guoqing, said, the goal of the health check is to help employees develop the habit of recognizing their health regularly.
“Today we have come to conduct a health examination here at ZAA in recognition of the great importance of this institution that serves many people”.
“Airport workers are important people due to their responsibilities to serve nationally and internationally, health services are a fundamental thing for them”.
In addition, he thanked the Ministry of Health and the Government for the way they provide great cooperation when Chinese doctors arrive in Zanzibar to provide various services.
Earlier, Parks Director, Rob Williams, said, the exercise will help employees to identify what to do and what not to do in order to be healthy and continue to bring productivity in their workplaces.
“Employees should also exercise in order to have good health that will put them in good responsibilities”, said Williams.
And Airport Health Services Guarantee Officer, Nassor Hamad Said, said ” the aim of the exercise is to provide an opportunity for employees to measure their health for development.”
On other hand the employees expressed that they are happy to have the opportunity because it gives them a chance to recognize their health and work hard and increase productivity in their workplaces.
