Cheers for Charity
Supporting Healthcare in Africa
Dodoma Tanzania Health Development is a 501(c)3 non-profit supporting the work of Dodoma Christian Medical Center (DCMC) in Central Tanzania. DCMC was launched in 2003 with a focus on community health in rural villages. Today, it is a thriving medical center providing a high standard of service by professional Tanzanian medical and dental staff in a safe, clean environment.
In a region with rapid population growth, widespread poverty and lack of infrastructure, access to healthcare is difficult. Demand for DCMC’s modern, high quality care draws nearly 100,000 patients a year.
