In a bid to reduce referrals abroad Regency Medical Centre in Dar es Salaam has partnered with experts from HCG Hospital in Indiato provide hip and knee surgery in Tanzania.

She said the knee and hip replacement surgeries have been conducted by specialists Dr. Deepak Dave and Dr. Yuvraj Lakum along with local staff. She added that the specialised surgeries are conducted with latest cutting-edge technology with a small incision which provides early mobility of the joints, reducing the stay of the patients in the hospital. “The surgery is offered to all patients from all walks of life. These surgeries will be conducted every six weeks,” she said.
