Volunteer doctors on their way for Africa

Kimse Yok Mu Foundation unceasingly continues its medical aid efforts for Africa. Joined by its volunteer doctors with an age average under 50, the foundation is set to provide medical assistance for Tanzanians starting from August 29 thru September 7. In cooperation with the Istanbul-based Ufuk Doctors’ Foundation (UHEK), the volunteers will focus mainly on surgeries. The medical team consists of 15 doctors, one nurse and two coordinators. The doctors will volunteer in gynecology, orthopedics, urology, general surgery, in particular, and neurology, dentistry, family practice, psychiatry and psychology departments.

UHEK’s 45-member medical team performed 10 thousand examinations and 200 surgeries over the past year. They have listed the medications and departments needed for a more thorough work. The team intends to do more surgeries, examinations and medication distribution this year and train the local doctors as well.
