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 to access it. Through THO medical missions, important screenings, education, and doctor consultations are made possible.
Additionally, we raise awareness about emerging healthcare problems, including communicable diseases such as HIV and malaria, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
How We Operate
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.
We participate in community health fairs to raise awareness about communicable and non-communicable diseases and the importance of regular health check-ups.
