About

Mnazi Mmoja is a 440 bed, government run hospital servicing the main island of Zanzibar. It is located in Stone Town, the island's capital.

It is staffed by both local and international doctors - including a team of specialists from China - and is reasonably well equipped for a developing world hospital.

Departments include internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics, ophthalmology, ENT, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.


Not surprisingly, given its location, Mnazi Mmoja is a popular choice for medical students completing their elective placements.

  2. Hello, we are four medical students from Sheffield who have organised to go to Mnazi Mmoja in June 2013. We have been in contact with Dr Omar and have transferred the money for placement and accommodation to him. However, we haven't heard from him in a few weeks confirming receipt of this.

    Is anyone planning on going to Mnazi Mmoja this year, or does anyone have more contact details - we can't seem to find any phone numbers that work!

    Thank you
