2 Jobs At Medical Teams International Tanzania, October 2020-Administrative Assistant| Ajirampya360.com



Medical Teams International is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We work to restore health as the first step to restoring hope. Because every person deserves the chance for a better life. Because every person no matter where they are or how desperate their situation matters

Based on the success of our work to bring healing to refugees in Uganda, we recently launched new programs in 2017 to reach refugees from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo who have fled to Tanzania. 

Remote Camps and Sparse Medical Services Refugee camps in Tanzania are in remote areas, making it difficult to maintain high quality health facilities and services. Clinics don’t have all the critical medicines and supplies they need. Even when all the needed equipment, medicines, and people are available to diagnose and treat diseases, sick people often have extended waits to access care. Malaria kills many children every day in Tanzania. If sick children don’t receive care quickly enough, they may die. No child should die from a preventable and treatable disease
