Kwa kauli moja katika Mkutano wa 39 wa AU, Mh. Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, ametunukiwa kuwa *Champion wa Afya ya Uzazi na Mtoto Afrika.*

๐ŸŽ‰ Hongera sana Mhe. Rais kwa heshima hii kubwa barani Afrika.

Ni ushindi kwa Tanzania. Ni ushindi kwa kina mama. Ni ushindi kwa watoto wachanga.

Hii si TUZO TU bali ni JUKUMU la kuongoza Afrika katika:
โœ… kuimarisha mifumo ya afya
โœ… kuharakisha afua zenye matokeo
โœ… kuvutia rasilimali za kimkakati
โœ… kuvuka mipaka kwa ushawishi wa sera

K**a TAMA โ€” Chama cha Wakunga Tanzania, tunasema kwa sauti moja:
๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโ€โš•๏ธ tuko tayari kushirikiana kwa karibu na Serikali ya Tanzania
๐Ÿค tuko tayari kuunga mkono dira ya kitaifa na ya bara
๐Ÿš€ tuko tayari kuongoza kwa vitendo kupitia wakunga walioko mstari wa mbele katika kutoa huduma kwa kina mama na watoto wachanga

At the 39th AU Summit, African leaders unanimously appointed President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan as Africaโ€™s Champion for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.

๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations, Madam President, on this historic continental recognition. This is not just an honour โ€” it is a leadership responsibility.

As TAMA (Tanzania Midwives Association), we are ready to work hand in hand with the Government of Tanzania to:

๐ŸŒ influence national and continental maternal health priorities
๐Ÿ“ˆ scale midwifery-led, evidence-based solutions
๐Ÿ’ฐ mobilize strategic resources
๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿพ deliver measurable survival outcomes

Midwives are the backbone of maternal and newborn health.
And we are ready to serve โ€” nationally and beyond borders.

๐Ÿ“ข Wito wetu | Call to action
Washirika wa maendeleo, watunga sera, sekta binafsi na wadau wa afya โ€” tushirikiane.
Development partners, policymakers and allies โ€” partner with Tanzania and its midwives.
From leadership to impact.From commitment to survival.

Because every mother matters.
Kila mtoto mchanga anastahili kuishi.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ He didnโ€™t wait for resources. He created them.

At Kilombero Sugar Hospital, Midwife Lingโ€™anda Thabit Ramadhani is redefining innovation in midwifery.

When training models were scarce, he used his own hands to craft pelvises and reproductive systemsโ€”locally made, anatomically accurate tools that strengthen skills where it matters most.

Because well-trained midwives save lives.
They prevent complications, protect mothers, and ensure babies take their first breath safely.

๐Ÿ“ From Edgar Maranta School of Nursing
๐Ÿ“ To skills labs across Tanzania

His work builds confident midwivesโ€”
and confident midwives save mothers and newborns.

โ€œWhen passion leads, resources follow.โ€

๐ŸŒ This impact was documented through International Confederation of Midwives Advocacy Incubator, highlighting how midwives are not only caregiversโ€”but leaders and innovators.

When We Lose a Mother or Baby, We Also Lose a Piece of a Midwife.

Did you know?
When a mother or a newborn dies,
midwives are the ones who carry the weight long after the room goes quiet.

They were there for every contraction.
Every breath.
Every hope.

They donโ€™t just lose a patient โ€”
they carry the what ifs, the grief, the questionsโ€ฆ
and then they are expected to move on to the next birth.

๐Ÿ’” Midwives are healers, but they are also human.

โžก๏ธ Demand mental health support for midwives
