Outreach visit to Same District Hospital 🏥

Same District Hospital is a public health facility located in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. The hospital is located approximately 2.5 hours drive south of Moshi and provides basic health services.

Complicated injuries, such as burn injuries, are referred to KCMC. Over 50% of patients admitted to KCMC’s burn department are referred from Same hospital.

In November 2025, staff from KCMC’s burn department visited Same hospital. The visit was successful and meaningful, and marked the start of a series of planned field visits to nearby district hospitals – the purpose of which is to strengthen the relationship between health professionals in the region. Both education and exchange of experiences are in focus during the visits, which contributes to better treatment of burn patients throughout the region 🔥
