The healthcare gap in Africa

3%

A severe shortage of doctors

According to the WHO, Africa carries about 24% of the global disease burden but has only about 3% of the world’s health workers.

Limited

Access to care

Access to basic health services is limited, and many people die of preventable diseases

Ongoing support

Room for change

Sustained support can narrow the healthcare gap. Your support can make a big difference

What Global MedCare Africa does

Medical support in Arusha, Tanzania

Based in Arusha, Tanzania, we work closely with local medical institutions. Through volunteer and outreach activities we provide ongoing medical support to the community, and we help the Japanese healthcare professionals and students who join GMC-Africa grow into people who can work in international settings.
Our aim is not one-off aid but helping to build a sustainable healthcare system rooted in the local community.

Our main activities

  • Internships and volunteer placements for Japanese students and healthcare professionals
  • Safe local accommodation and transportation
  • Community healthcare activities, including outreach
  • Education and skills transfer for local healthcare workers
  • Patient education and health awareness
Outreach activity for local residents

A message from our representative

Naoya Sakai

Naoya Sakai

Representative, Physician

Through medical work in Africa, I have seen the reality of the healthcare gap first-hand. Care that people in Japan take for granted is not a given here.

With your ongoing support:

  • 1. We create small changes in Tanzania.
  • 2. We create small changes in the healthcare students and professionals who join GMC-Africa, who grow into professionals able to work around the world.
  • 3. And they, in turn, make the world a better place.

A small contribution of ¥500 a month brings great hope to people in Africa. Please join us in closing the healthcare gap.
