Medical Internship in Tanzania

You will do your internship in the second-largest hospital in Arusha, with an in-patient capacity of 100 and over 100 staff members. The hospital offers a wide range of medical services, including Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, Maternity, Radiology, Dentistry, and Care, Treatment and Coordination for persons living with HIV, as well as a Surgical Theatre that does an average of 50-70 procedures each month.

Be part of a medical program at a local hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, and gain valuable knowledge about healthcare services alongside local professionals. This is a great opportunity for medical professionals and some prospective medical/nursing students to hone their medical knowledge about healthcare provision in Tanzania. Depending on your qualifications, you may also provide medical assistance to people from the community with less access to resources.

As a participant in this program, you will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities depending on your level of skill and education. You will shadow local doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals caring for persons receiving in-patient and outpatient care. This may include monitoring, observing, and providing health outreach information to the community.

In addition to gaining valuable knowledge and experience, participants can contribute to the hospital by sharing their expertise and skills and, when possible, donating additional resources and supplies. This will help to bridge the financial gap and support the local community members who may not have easy access to quality healthcare services. Join us and become a part of this meaningful and fulfilling experience!

The hospital, which was founded in 1975, is a reputable institution run by a religious order within the community. Initially, it began as a modest dispensary dedicated to offering medical assistance to pregnant women and children. However, as the population of Arusha expanded over time, so did the demand for a more comprehensive range of healthcare services.

Gradually, this medical establishment evolved into Arusha’s second-largest hospital, boasting an in-patient capacity of 100 and employing over 100 staff members. The hospital now accommodates patients across various specializations, including Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, Maternity, Radiology, Dentistry, HIV care, and treatment coordination, as well as housing a fully-equipped surgical theater that carries out an average of 50-70 procedures monthly.

Participants embarking on this program can anticipate engaging in a plethora of activities tailored to their specific skill set and educational background. They will have the opportunity to shadow local doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals responsible for both in-patient and outpatient care. Activities may encompass monitoring patients’ health conditions, observing medical procedures, and disseminating health outreach information within the community.

Contributions from participants in this program can significantly impact the hospital’s operations. Participants can share their unique knowledge and expertise while also donating additional resources or supplies whenever feasible. Such contributions would serve to alleviate financial constraints and ultimately benefit the local community members who rely on the hospital’s services.
