Naye, Katibu Mtendaji wa TASWO, Nicolaus Mshana alisema mbali na mauaji, walemavu hao wana changamoto za umasikini na maambukizi ya VVU na Ukimwi hali inayosababishwa na mazingira wanayoishi, aina yao ya uelemavu, uelewa mdogo wa VVU na Ukimwi na uwezo wa wataalamu katika kutoa huduma kwa kundi hilo hasa kwa wasioona vizuri.

Kwa upande wake mmoja wa viongozi wa chama cha walemavu wa ngozi mkoani Iringa, Hellen Machibya aliitaka serikali kuwapa kipaumbele walemavu wanapohitaji kupata huduma mbalimbali zinazowahusu.

Akizungumzia jinsi wanavyopata kwa shida huduma za afya, Machibya alisema wamekuwa wakitibiwa kama wagonjwa wengine pamoja na kueleweka kwa tatizo lao la ngozi.
