Program Overview
Ziriya Global Med™ International Clinical Programme — Zanzibar, Tanzania
The Ziriya Global Med International Clinical Programme is a structured, supervised global health experience based in Zanzibar, East Africa. Delivered in collaboration with Kizimkazi Health Centre, the programme gives medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, and healthcare-related students meaningful exposure to real healthcare environments through clinical observation, community health engagement, and health systems learning.
Participants gain cross-cultural insight, deepen their understanding of healthcare delivery in a different resource setting, and develop the professionalism and ethical awareness that define strong global health practitioners.
The programme runs across three tracks — 1, 2, and 4 weeks — with the 2-week Immersion Track as the flagship experience. No prior international placement experience is required.
All activities are delivered within clearly defined clinical boundaries, supervised, and professionally managed.
