He is also coordinating the Introduction course in Palliative care (Short course) at MUHAS. His current research focused on radiotherapy and palliative care since in Tanzania there is a high incidence of cancer and NCDs in general and most cancer patients are diagnosed at the late stage of the disease (Stage III and IV) and need palliative care.
