I was in Tanzania Zanzibar in 2008 at Mnazi mmoja Hospital for a placement as a medical student having gone there through uk agent
Having been there i managed to meet other local agencies who also do the same , placement program at the same period at a far much better price with wider network of hospital attachments which is for sure a local NGO
Their placements are to the agreed Government Hospitals like,
Kcmc Moshi, Mt.Meru District hospital Arusha, Selian District Hospital
Arusha and Ngarinaro Health centre, Muhimbili University College and
in Zanzibar is at Mnazi Mmoja Hospital
