Dar Es Salaam - Tanzanian Health Minister David Mwakyusa has apologised for a recent surgical mix-up that resulted in a knee patient undergoing a complex and life-threatening brain operation.

 

 

 

Surgeons at the country's main Muhimbili hospital opened the skull of Emmanuel Didas to remove a non-existent brain tumour, while Emmanuel Mgaya, who had the tumour, underwent knee surgery on November 8.

 

 

 

"We are all saddened by the incident and I would like to say sorry to the victims on behalf of the government," Mwakyusa told parliament in the country's administrative capital of Dodoma late on Tuesday.
