project goals

In conjunction with several government and private health care facilities in Arusha, Tanzania, The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project is designed to provide clinical care, education, psychosocial support and infrastructure assistance to those agencies involved in HIV/AIDS. Over the last five years, The Phil Simon Clinic has sent 23 healthcare personnel to Tanzania to help achieve these goals. Medical and educational support and supplies continue to flow to Arusha between trips to East Africa. Upone Charitable Medical Centre, Mount Meru Regional Hospital, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and Moivaro Clinic are some of the venues receiving assistance and education from The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project. Scholarship programs and an exchange education program have been established to enhance training for local HIV/AIDS providers in Arusha. This has become especially important as Tanzania begins to establish antiretroviral treatment centers.
