Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is set to position itself as a leading destination for medical tourism in the region with plans to introduce liver transplants by the end of 2025.
The initiative follows the country’s success in offering specialised treatments such as kidney transplants, cancer care, cardiac interventions and orthopaedic procedures, which have already attracted patients from neighbouring countries.
