About Program
The Medical Program in Paje, Zanzibar, offers meaningful volunteer opportunities in Africa, situated near The White House of Zanzibar, where volunteers will be accommodated. The clinic prioritizes treating infectious diseases like HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and typhoid fever.
In addition to infectious disease treatment, the clinic’s obstetric department provides labor and delivery care. Volunteers may assist with deliveries and postnatal care, working closely with dedicated staff who manage these services with limited resources.
The clinic also has an Emergency Department, OPD and Surgery.
The clinic serves a disadvantaged community with diverse healthcare needs, from non-communicable diseases and trauma to cases of domestic abuse. Volunteers, whether experienced medical professionals or students, are essential in providing wound care, administering medications, assisting with trauma cases, and educating patients on disease prevention.
