The Tanzania Professional Boxing Regulatory Commission (TPBRC) has begun seeking sponsorship agreements with hospitals to reduce the cost of MRI and CT Scan examinations after growing concerns from boxers and stakeholders over the high price of the tests.
The move comes amid increasing calls for reforms in boxing health management, with many stakeholders warning that the high cost of specialised medical examinations is preventing boxers from receiving crucial tests that could detect hidden injuries and prevent serious health complications.
