We are a team of surgical mission team that will travel to Babati, Tanzania to provide surgical care to patients who do not have access to care.
Patients who need surgical care in general surgery, ent or gynecology. This population in Babati lacks access to free surgeries and often cannot afford the life changing operations that will allow them to work or do their daily activities of living
We expect to impact approximately 100 patients. We will plan to work with their local physicians to share knowledge so they are able to carry out some of these operations on their own as well as provide follow up through additional teams to care for future patients.
We spent a week in a regional referral hospital and were able to provide care to patients with burns, large tumors and some cleft patients. It was a very rewarding experience overall and grateful for the doximity grant foundation for providing assistance with the mission
