Klinikpartnerschaft GTP – Department of Paediatrics & Child Health an der Universität von Dodoma, Tansania (2021-2024)

Über das Projekt

Im Rahmen der Initiative “Klinikpartnerschaften – Partner stärken Gesundheit”, finanziert durch die Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung (EKFS) und das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ), technisch begleitet durch die Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), engagiert sich die GTP in Fortführung des sehr erfolgreichen Facharztprogramms für angehende PädiaterInnen in Mwanza und Dodoma (2016 bis 2020) seit 2021 (Laufzeit bis 2024) in der pädiatrischen Facharztausbildung in Dodoma, Tansania. Aufgrund des weiterhin bestehenden Mangels an Pädiaterinnen und Pädiatern mit Subspezialitäten reisen Experten aus Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern mehrfach pro Jahr nach Tansania, um in Dodoma theoretischen Unterricht anzubieten. Darüber hinaus findet praktischer Unterricht bei Visiten und Klinikeinsätzen statt, Ultraschallkenntnisse werden ebenso vermittelt. Das Pflegepersonal wird durch erfahrene Kinderkrankenschwestern/-pfleger geschult. Fehlende Ausstattung wird in begrenztem Maße durch das Projekt beschafft. Die Entwicklung von Behandlungsrichtlinien ist Bestandteil des Projekts.

Möglichkeit zur Mitarbeit – Dozenten gesucht

Fachärztinnen/-ärzte für Kinder- und Jugendmedizin inklusive aller Subspezialitäten
Neonatologisch und pädiatrisch erfahrenes Pflegepersonal

Wir freuen uns auf Bewerbungen von GTP-Mitgliedern oder solchen, die es werden wollen, mit Interesse an einem Unterrichtseinsatz in Dodoma. Arbeitserfahrung im Ausland und in der Lehre sind von Vorteil, aber keine unabdingbare Voraussetzung.

Einsatzdauer: 2-3 Wochen (Einsatzzeitpunkt flexibel)
Voraussetzungen: Gute Englischkenntnisse
Vergütung: Übernahme der Aufenthalts- und Reisekosten

Welcome address

We are delighted to invite you to our 41st Annual Meeting of the Society for Tropical Pediatrics and International Child Health.

Under the keynote theme “Teaching. Tomorrow. Together. – Learning and Teaching in Global Child Health”, the meeting will take place from May 12-14, 2023 in the Beethoven and UN city of Bonn. In addition to various workshops and submitted abstracts, you can expect exciting presentations from renowned speakers* as well as the chance to establish and refresh personal contacts.

Aspects of teaching and learning related to international child health will be presented in medical as well as socio-cultural thematic complexes in a global as well as local context. As usual, however, the annual meeting also gives ample space to present other current and relevant aspects of global child health.

All together, we would also like to celebrate and cordially invite you to our social evening on May 13, 2023. We will sail on the Rhine through the night, want to eat and also dance.

We would like to make it possible for as many interested people as possible to participate and offer reduced prices for students and health professionals as well as childcare during the conference.

We are very much looking forward to your coming and to lively discussions.

Dr. Andreas Schultz (Conference Chiar) with Dr. Claudia von Both, Dr. Noa Freudenthal, Dr. Andreas Hansmann, Andrea Jütte, Dr. Sarah Kotsias-Konopelska, Dr. Carsten Krüger, Eva Kuhn, Dr. Hans-Jörg Lang, Dr. Christian Schmidt und Dr. Ralf Weigel
