Medical Missions

Join Us in Transforming Lives

Welcome to Tanzania Health Opportunities (THO), where local efforts create a global impact. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to providing healthcare services in disadvantaged communities across Tanzania. Our team of passionate healthcare volunteers conducts community healthcare screenings and treatments during our outreach programs, aiming to help over 500 people daily.

Objectives

Our primary goal is to make healthcare accessible to people who cannot afford or access it. Through THO medical missions, even doctor consultations are made possible. We conduct screenings and provide necessary treatment for over 500 people per day during our medical outreach.

Additionally, we raise awareness about emerging healthcare problems, including communicable diseases such as HIV and malaria, as well as non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

How We Operate

Setting Up Medical Camps

Tanzania Health Opportunities (THO) is a team of diverse licensed professionals, volunteers, and students. We travel to rural areas to set up temporary medical clinics, offering basic medical check-ups, dental check-ups/oral health education, counseling and psychotherapy sessions, and eye screenings. These services are provided free of charge to patients who cannot access healthcare or doctor consultations due to their location or financial status. We are grateful to all who support the program.

Community Health Fairs

We participate in community health fairs to raise awareness about communicable and non-communicable diseases and the importance of regular health check-ups.

Sammaritan School, Chamazi Temeke

THO, in collaboration with Temeke Municipal Health Management, Ndovu Dental Clinic, and Optical Centre Eye Clinic, conducted screening activities on January 30, 2024, at Chamazi Samaritan School.

This initiative aimed to provide comprehensive healthcare services to residents of the Chamazi area. The screening primarily focused on assessing HIV, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes, eye vision problems (noting that some students could not focus on their studies due to poor vision), and dental care check-ups. Students identified with poor vision were given glasses, and children with dental issues received treatment following the outreach. We thank all the volunteers who fundraised for the event and everyone who participated in delivering healthcare to these communities.

Chakuwama Orphanage Center, Sinza-Ubungo

At Tanzania Health Opportunities (THO), we are dedicated to promoting health equity, particularly for underserved communities. On June 19, 2024, our team visited the Chakuwama Orphanage Center to provide essential healthcare services to the children and staff residing there. During our visit, we conducted medical, dental, and eye check-ups, as well as testing for malaria and urinary tract infections (UTIs). We saw 76 children and staff in total, offering consultations and treatment with general physicians. The children were thrilled to meet the doctors and receive care.

How Can You Help?

Our outreach program requires approximately $1,350 to screen and offer healthcare services to over 500 individuals per day. A donation of just $3 can enable our volunteer team to provide healthcare services to one patient who otherwise would not have access to medical care. We invite potential partners, institutions, organizations, and individuals who share our commitment to improving community healthcare services to support this initiative. Your contributions can make a profound difference in the lives of these communities.
