Dar+es+Salaam

//**Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) **// The relationship between MUHAS and Dalhousie began with a project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in the late 1980s between the Schools of Nursing at Dalhousie & MUHAS (then MUCHS). This resulted in many of the nursing faculty receiving their undergraduate and graduate nursing degrees from Dalhousie University.

The relationship between MUHAS and Dalhousie was re-established in 2003. The first student program - the Tanzania Study Tour - started in 2004. To date, 80 students from Dalhousie’s Faculties of Dentistry, Health Professions and Medicine have participated in an annual global health education program in Tanzania – hosted by MUHAS, PASADA and St. Francis Designated District Hospital in Ifakara. An additional 20 senior medical students have participated in clinical electives at MUHAS and St. Francis Hospital since 2005 and 1 resident completed an elective in Ifakara.
