PERSONNEL

One of our main problems is lack of qualified staff, especially Doctors (MO, AMO), Clinical Officers and Nursing Officers. For Tanzanian doctors the hospital offers substantial bonuses in addition to the usual government salary. We also offer good accommodation in doctors' houses. Our hospital has 24 hour electricity, good quality piped water and an internal telephone system. From Nyangao it is easy to use mobile telephone - TIGO and other mobile phone companies. There is also available from the hospital communication by internet.

If you are interested in joining us please contact Doctor In-charge or Administrator using address:

As you see from our financial report our hospital is dependent on donations. This part of the country is underdeveloped and suffers from a lack of proper health services. The number of patients coming to us and the quality of service greatly exceeds the role of medium size mission hospital. Nyangao hospital is acting very often as referral hospital for the patients from Lindi and Mtwara Regions.
