WORK
ABOUT

The Zimbabwe Medical Project partners physicians, nurses, & educators from Zimbabwe South Africa and the USA in a healthcare campaign with a dual mandate to enable long-term, sustainable expansion in quality healthcare. We are partnering in Zimbabwe to eradicate the preventable diseases that devastate families & to help in the education of tomorrow's healthcare leaders.

 

Our volunteers began their clinical work in Zimbabwe in 2011 providing screening & treatment for the epidemic of preventable blindness. While providing care for these patients, it became clear that in order to truly achieve a meaningful, long-term, sustainable impact on healthcare, we needed to expand our focus to include other clinical areas of urgent need.

 

We are proud to be actively involved in partnerships formed between clinicians & educators in Zimbabwe, the United States, & South Africa. These partnerships encompass both clinical & educational initiatives, including: treatment & prevention of blindness, provision of clean water and irrigation,, support of nutritional needs in children, & medical teaching of nurses & physicians.

 

We believe that such international cooperation between nurses & physicians on the two continents enriches both our societies, while helping to ensure a bright future for healthcare in Zimbabwe.
