MUSC’s presence in Tanzania has grown over the years through the work of clinicians, researchers, and bioengineers working together on multidisciplinary teams to expand cardiovascular capacity-building, clinical education, HIV/AIDs community-based prevention and treatment, and the integration of non-communicable disease in HIV treatment. Long-Standing Collaboration In 2014, MUSC, Clemson University, MUHAS, and Arusha Technical College established a multi-institutional research, education, and training program to facilitate new collaborations and open new avenues for funding and research. Initiatives include bilateral student, trainee, and faculty exchanges, collaborative research grants, and programs to identify, develop and test novel, low-cost health technologies in low-resource settings. Current Research As part of a $3.1M National Institute of Health grant, the MUSC Center for Global Health is working with collaborators on a Tanzanian study to determine whether combining diabetes, hypertension, and HIV screenings increases the uptake of HIV testing, care, and improvements in health care delivery. Through this partnership, MUSC students, residents, and fellows have opportunities for fieldwork placements and training. In addition, MUSC hosts Tanzania colleagues as part of our commitment to fostering bidirectional exchange.
