Medical Support

Medical facilities in Tabora Region, even in the towns with hospitals, are limited. Any help that medical personnel from UK can give is very welcome and very much appreciated by the local staff. FUM can help in several ways.

FUM has many years experience of helping medical volunteers gain a suitable placement, find reliable accommodation and also help with the logistics of travel from UK and within Tanzania.

Volunteers can be confident that they will be very well received, will have plenty of medical responsibility and that overall it will be a great, possibly life-changing experience.

Three examples are given below but others are possible and have included dentistry and hospital equipment.

Please use our Contact form to discuss possibilities.

Nurses in Nzega

Five nurses from London travelled to Tanzania with a FUM group and spent 3 weeks using their skills in Nzega Hospital.

Medical Electives

Sadly, covid means our four student doctors have had to cancel their visit to Tanzania for their 'elective' placements.

What FUM can offer

Although FUM's constitution does not allow us to fund individuals visiting Tanzania we have many years of experience in providing travel advice (both to and within Tanzania), personal contacts and low-cost accommodation in our FDCs.

The accommodation is fairly basic but it is reliable and your hosts are friendly. Typical cost is £6 per day. There is a local hospital not far from each FDC.

We have on occasion arranged accommodation for research geologists and water engineers working in the area.

Accommodation in a village is also possible but these are more spartan and remote.

Please use the Contact FUM form to discuss possibilities, or email FUM Secretary Rod Smith secretary@fum.org.uk
