You can assist to develop healthcare but you also get great experience in how to work in a developing country with limited medical facilities.
Details
Art in Tanzania medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. We focus on Dar es Salaam Madale village medical support program as we can combine small village clinics with a larger hospital in the near vicinity.
Part of the duties is planning work to develop the program. For example, we look for to open a small neonatal clinic to serve the young mothers in the Madale village.
The medical program includes also HIV/AIDS counseling advocacy and events & testing.
The program needs different types of medical personnel but most of all nurses and doctors. It is practical work in the clinics but also training of 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 per day from Monday to Friday. This work is tutored by Mr. Kari Korhonen.
Volunteers are working in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional intern teams. We encourage innovation in the program approach.
Typical day
When you work at a medical clinic you commonly start your day moving from compound to the clinic around AM 8 after your breakfast. However some clinics they start their day shift as early as AM 6. Thereon it is full day medical work in the selected department(s). Commonly clinic interns have one or two days a week for planning and 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 and similar.

Our eco-compound in Madale village in Dar es Salaam area has dorms, single, double and family rooms. As an eco-compound we use our own design composting dry toilets, we collect shower water and urine and use it as "grey water" for our large garden irrigation. Construction materials include bamboo, recycled bottles and similar. This compound is located in Madale village, so it is as a countryside place but a short distance from the city as well.
We charge accommodation with breakfast and dinner only.
We serve breakfast and dinner as accommodation inclusive. Lunches are available at a nominal cost, but you need to book one every morning as many people are not at the compound we cook and charge only those who are present and wish to have lunch.
