DAR ES SALAAAM, Tanzania - Nov. 11, 2024 - PRLog -- Muhimbili National Hospital, in collaboration with Global Medical assistance provider Vaidam Health, will host a three-day medical camp offering specialized consultations and training sessions from November 13th to 15th, 2024. During this event, two leading experts from Fortis Hospital, Dr Gaurav Gupta, an Abdominal organ transplant surgeon, and Dr Varun Ravindra Tadkalkar, a gastroenterologist, hepatologist, and endoscopist, will provide consultation to patients in liver transplantation, gastroenterology, and digestive disorders and train local doctors.

This camp marks a crucial step in establishing a liver transplant program at Muhimbili Hospital through the recent collaboration between the Ministry of Health Tanzania and Vaidam Health. During the three-day camp event, along with patient consultation by Indian doctors and local doctors of Gastroenterology and Digestive Oncology, Muhimbilli will receive essential pre- and post-transplant management guidelines and ERCP/ EUS training sessions.

This joint initiative will also involve training local doctors in advanced liver surgeries, setting up operating rooms, and establishing a liver transplant unit at Muhimbili Hospital to provide transplant services within Tanzania in the near future. This development will be especially beneficial for patients with acute liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer who currently must travel abroad for transplants.

Collaboration between the Ministry of Health—Gastro & Digestive Oncology Department and Vaidam Health will empower Tanzanian medical professionals to better treat complex liver cases, fostering knowledge-sharing between Indian and Tanzanian healthcare teams. This partnership between the two nations aims to improve healthcare services and strengthen bonds in the medical field, setting the stage for a brighter healthcare future for Tanzania.
