About the Project
This project is part of the initiative “Clinic Partnerships – Partners Strengthen Health”, funded by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation (EKFS) and the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), with support from GIZ (German Development Cooperation).
Since 2021, GTP has been supporting pediatric specialist training in Dodoma, Tanzania. This builds on the success of a previous training program in Mwanza and Dodoma.
Because there is still a shortage of pediatricians with subspecialty training, doctors from Germany and other European countries travel to Dodoma several times a year to teach. They offer both:
- Theoretical training (lectures and case discussions)
- Practical training (ward rounds, bedside teaching, ultrasound skills)
Experienced pediatric nurses also train local nursing staff. The project provides some essential medical equipment, and supports the development of local treatment guidelines.
Join the Project – We’re Looking for:
- Pediatricians (including subspecialties)
- Nurses with experience in neonatology or pediatrics
- Lecturers wanted!
If you’re a GTP member – or would like to become one – and are interested in teaching in Dodoma, we’d love to hear from you. Teaching or international experience is helpful, but not required.
- Length of stay: 2–3 weeks (flexible timing)
- Requirements: Good English skills
- Costs covered: Flights and accommodation
