JATA Zambia Brings Advanced Healthcare to Bauleni!

JATA Zambia, in a collaborative effort between the people of Japan and the Zambian government, has made significant strides in improving healthcare accessibility in Zambia. On Monday, October 28th, 2024, JATA Zambia officially commissioned a state-of-the-art digital x-ray machine at Bauleni Health Centre.
This milestone event was graced by H.E. Mr. TAKEUCHI Kazuyuki, Ambassador of Japan, and Dr. Kennedy Lishimpi, Permanent Secretary, who represented the Guest of Honour, Honourable Minister of Health Dr. Elijah Muchima, in receiving the digital X-ray machine at Bauleni Health Centre.
The event was attended by senior government officials, key representatives from Bauleni Health Centre, and a gathering of Bauleni residents. This marks a new era in healthcare accessibility for the community.
Ambassador Takeuchi expressed hope that this project would enhance early detection and treatment of TB, thereby improving the local community's healthcare. He also expressed optimism about future collaborations in the health sector between Japan and Zambi
The AI-powered digital x-ray machine will provide faster and more accurate diagnoses, improving patient care. Additionally, residents will no longer need to travel long distances to Chilenje Health Centre or UTH for x-ray services. To ensure uninterrupted healthcare services, JATA Zambia has also installed an inverter system, guaranteeing the laboratory and x-ray building remain operational during power outages.
JATA Zambia has a long history of contributing to Zambia's healthcare infrastructure. In 2019, JATA Zambia also installed an x-ray machine and trained healthcare professionals on using the AI-powered digital x-ray machine at Kalilinga Health Centre. Additionally, in 2011, JATA Zambia constructed an x-ray building and installed the initial x-ray machine at Bauleni Health Centre. This latest upgrade underscores their commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility and quality in Zambia.

2024年10月28日（月）、JATAザンビアはバウレニHCにてデジタルX線装置の引渡式を行いました。今年度は日本NGO連携無償資金協力の3年プロジェクトの2年目にあたり、1年次には2011年にJATAが建設した建物の改修工事を行い、2年次にデジタルX線装置を寄贈しました。本式典には竹内一之大使、エライジャ・ムチマ保健大臣の代理としてケネディ・リシンピ保健省次官、政府関係者、バウレニヘルスセンターの関係者、バウレニで活動する結核ボランティア、そしてバウレニ住民が参加しました。竹内大使は、このプロジェクトが結核の早期発見と治療を促進し、地域の医療を改善することへの期待を表明しました。また、日本とザンビアの間で今後の医療分野における協力が進むことを祈念されました。
このバウレニヘルスセンターに設置されたAI搭載のデジタルX線装置は、より迅速かつ正確な診断を可能にし、かつてはUTH（大学病院）やチレンジェ病院まで長距離移動を余儀なくされていた近隣住民が容易にアクセスできるようになりました。また、停電時にもX線装置が稼働し続けられるようにインバーターを設置し、電力不足にも対応しています。これにより、ザンビアにおける医療アクセスと質の向上が図られ、一人でも多くの患者さんが必要な時に必要な医療を受けられるよう、引き続きサポートしていきたいと思います。
