    À propos du programme

    Overview
    Established in 1923, the local Hospital is located in the heart of the historic Stone Town in Zanzibar, adjacent to the state house. It serves as the main referral hospital for both of the islands that make up Zanzibar, consisting of three different buildings, including the main one at Mnazi Mmoja, and others at Mwembeladu (maternity hospital) and Kidongo Chekundu (mental hospital). It offers various services, such as ENT, OB/GYN, ICU, paediatrics, eye care, general surgery, and more, making it a crucial resource for the communities it serves. As the teaching hospital for health colleges and universities on the island, it plays a vital role in training healthcare professionals.

    Due to shortages of medical equipment and supplies, Tanzania faces numerous health problems, presenting a significant challenge to achieving the third goal of the United Nations 2033 Agenda for Sustainable Development – Good Health and Well Being. Therefore, participants in the Hospital’s medical program should have some medical experience or background to shadow and learn more about healthcare service delivery. Depending on your skill level and experience, you will be given various tasks to help out in the hospital, serving those with limited access to affordable quality health care.

    Volunteers can contribute to the hospital by providing their knowledge and skills, as well as donating additional resources and supplies to help bridge the financial gap and support the local community. Duties may include observing and/or monitoring patients, treatment techniques, and providing health outreach information, among others.

    Location
    Stone Town is an historic and cultural city located on the island of Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its beautiful architecture, narrow streets, bustling markets, and rich history. It has a unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences can be seen in its buildings, food, and culture.
