FAME

I’m back at FAME medical center in Thomas Village, Karatu Tanzania. It’s so nice to be back after Covid disrupted the past 2 years. FAME provides a high level of outpatient and hospital care to a wide area of north central Tanzania.

This is my fourth time back. It was truly like a homecoming with many “habaris,”, smiles, and hugs. It was even more amazing since I can only imagine how my terrible Swahili must grate their ears.

Our patient population includes a wide variety of surgical and non surgical patients. Many come from the Maasai tribe who live in homelands around the Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti conservation areas.
