Medical Treatment Centres

Tanzania has an online registry of medical centres, which can be found at this link.

The Aga Khan Hospitals network has a main hospital in Dar es Salaam, along with a number of clinics (Telephone: +255 22 211 5151/53). They have a primary medical centre in Mbeya, which can refer to the Dar es Salaam hospital. HOT associates are recommended to use Aga Khan when it is feasible.

Expatriates have also used the IST Clinic, a primary care clinic in Dar es Salaam providing high-quality health care. One of the medical practitioners can be reached during 24 hours on the clinic emergency line (0754-783 393) and there is always a nurse present at the IST Clinic itself so that patients can go directly to the clinic.
