Medical Volunteer Projects in Tanzania

by: AMANI HOSTEL

Add first reviewVerifiedSince 2019

Volunteer abroad in this project in Tanzania and gain an amazing experience while helping people in some of the poorest medical institutions in the developing world. We work with both small health clinics and large government hospitals in and around Arusha as well as the coastal city of Dar es Salaam. These numerous placements allow volunteers the unique opportunity to work in different departments, including maternity, general medicine, surgery, and pediatrics. They can also choose to focus on a particular department. While working closely with local doctors and nurses, they become exposed to a wide range of illnesses.
