Suluhu was speaking at the swearing-in ceremony for newly appointed leaders in Zanzibar where she expressed her confidence in Janabi’s qualifications and extensive experience in healthcare.<\/p>\n

This nomination follows the passing of Faustine Ndugulile, who had been elected to the role earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Janabi, a highly regarded cardiologist and the current executive director of Muhimbili National Hospital, brings a wealth of experience to the table. <\/p>\n

In addition to his leadership at the hospital, he also serves as an advisor to the president on health and medical affairs. <\/p>\n

His nomination comes after a thorough review of five potential candidates by the Tanzanian government.<\/p>\n

Ndugulile, who had been selected as WHO Regional Director for Africa at the 74th WHO General Assembly in August 2024, was set to begin his term in March 2025. <\/p>\n

He passed away on November 7 while receiving medical treatment in India. His death has left a void in the leadership of WHO\u2019s African regional office.<\/p>\n
