Tanzania's medical tourism agenda gets major boost with KCMC's steam surgery

Moshi. Tanzania has taken a major step in medical tourism after the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) successfully treated 11 patients with prostate problems using Rezum Water Vapor Therapy, a minimally invasive steam-based technology.

The 15–20 minute procedure, performed for the first time in the country, allows patients to recover quickly, with all 11 discharged the following day. The breakthrough was achieved through a collaboration between KCMC specialists and expert doctors from India, who ran a six-day surgical camp from January 26 to 31.
