About A Broader View Volunteers: A Broader View offers an unique experience for volunteers with flexible dates and length of trips. Volunteers can choose trips that range from two to eight weeks long and include a language immersion option as well. Finding a location, project, and date to volunteer with these projects is up to the individual and A Broader View is available to help individuals and groups navigate this process.
About the Clinic: Many facilities in Tanzania lack modern facilities, making medical assistance vital and challenging at this location. Volunteers will shadow a local physician, and together you will be involved in the day-to-day aspects of the hospital, observe and assist with procedures, share and educate on basic hygiene and healthcare. Volunteers also have options to work with a local program helping families living with HIV/Aids. Most common ailments include malaria, UTI, hypertension, peptic ulcer, skin conditions, tooth abscesses, and child birth complications.
