    Summary

    Art in Tanzania helps the small community clinics in the villages and larger hospitals. Tanzania's health care is missing professional medical staff. You can assist in developing healthcare but also get great experience working in a developing country with limited medical facilities.

    Details

    Art in Tanzania: The medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. We focus on the Dar es Salaam Madale village medical support program, which allows us to combine small village clinics with a larger hospital nearby.

    Part of the duties is planning work to develop the program. For example, we are looking to open a small neonatal clinic to serve young mothers in Madale village.

    The medical program also includes HIV/AIDS counselling advocacy, events & testing.

    The program needs different types of medical personnel, but most of all, nurses and doctors. It is practical work in the clinics, training the Tanzanian medical staff, and changing views.

    This is an ongoing program, and we can adjust the starting dates.

    The working hours are 6-8 hours daily from Monday to Friday. This work is tutored by Mr. Kari Korhonen.

    Volunteers work in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional interns. We encourage innovation in the program approach.

    Typical day

    When you work at a medical clinic, you commonly start your day moving from the compound to the clinic around 8 AM after breakfast. However, some clinics start their day shift as early as 6 AM. Thereon, there is full-day medical work in the selected department(s). Commonly, clinic interns have one or two days a week for planning, reporting, and visibility tasks, but this depends on your focus. You can also select public health tasks along with the medical clinic work. Then, it is typical sports, advocacy, first aid courses, HIV AIDS work, etc.


    Attending Public Health work focuses much more on schools, so they also dictate your working hours. It is seminars on different public health subjects such as HIV, AIDS, Environmental Health, Diabetes, other joint diseases, nutrition, and so on.

    We highly recommend attending the Village sports program for free time.
