Overview

Mission

To imrpove radiological services and related medical care in east africa, with the ultimate vision of enabling local tanzanians to provide self-sustaining high quality radiology services to everyone in tanzania. Principal elements of this mission are: (1) supporting the radiology department and related departments at the kilimanjaro christian medical center in moshi, tanzania, (2) providing radiology equipment for the radiology department and outlying tanzanian medical facilities, and (3) supporting the school of radiology located at kcmc.

What it reported doing in 2024

Following years in which eamaf has funded a number of major equipment purchases for kcmc and remote medical facilities, reduced donations have limited its programs. However, eamaf continues to provide salary supplements for kcmc's staff radiologists and to make minor equipment purchases. Eamaf is continuing its collaboration with kcmc in the financing and development of a major cardiovascular center at kcmc (the center). The center is expected to significantly expand the role of the kcmc radiology department and its interaction with other kcmc departments. It is also likely to result in a need for additional kcmc radiologists and related staff and equipment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
