Step into the heart of healthcare in Tanzania and make a difference where it matters most. Wild Vista Expedition invites passionate medical professionals and students to join our Hospital-Based Medical Volunteer Program, supporting local clinics and hospitals while gaining practical experience and deep cultural immersion. You’ll work alongside local healthcare teams in busy hospitals and rural health centers, assisting with: - General patient care and triage - Maternal and child health services - Public health education - Shadowing doctors and nurses - Basic administrative support This is your opportunity to learn about global health challenges, understand medical care in low-resource settings, and provide vital support to underserved communities.

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.
