The placement is with a medical clinic or hospital, depending on your previous experience and training. Activities typically include shadowing doctors and other healthcare workers, observing how the healthcare system in Tanzania works, and performing basic care for patients under supervision. Take 
 on a general support role as directed by a clinic or hospital staff.

As a step contributing to the advancement of the equipment, appliances, facilities, and quality of these hospitals, we charge an extra 100 USD for these placements – a one-time fee throughout your time on the program. This is directly transferred to the institutions and centers to develop their facilities and service provision.

One to two times per week, we perform medical outreach with a local organization. This involves traveling to a rural village, typically over rough dirt roads. We either visit several homes and provide medical treatment to local families or travel to one location where families come to us. This program is funded by volunteers.

There is a $100 contribution given directly to the center by the volunteer.
