Foundation for African Medicine & Education (FAME)Nonprofit

Improves access and advances patient-centered care for under-resourced communities in rural Tanzania.

FAME is an organization entirely focused on advancing quality medical care in rural Tanzania. From the beginning, we set out to provide communities in the Northern Highlands of Tanzania with a unique healthcare experience – one marked by patient-centered care and high-quality service. In that spirit, FAME endeavors to meet the medical needs of ordinary Tanzanian people, including underserved populations in the most rural parts of the region. Located outside the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, FAME is a hospital with an on-site laboratory, radiology department with CT-scan and X-ray machine, outpatient clinic, inpatient ward, operating rooms, emergency room, and maternal health wing. With a catchment area stretching 85 miles and reaching 2.9 million people, FAME's all Tanzanian medical team sees almost 30,000 patients annually.
