Arusha — The Arusha Catholic Archdiocese run Saint Elizabeth Hospital Arusha (SEHA) will run special orthopedics operations in collaboration with visiting Belgian surgeons between November 8 and December 23, this year.
According to SEHA's Director Dr. Thomas Kway, patients from all over Tanzania will benefit from the operation.
Dr. Kway said SEHA has been regularly inviting experts from Europe to help out in various medical areas.
He said they have been working with the visiting experts and undertaking surgical operations free of charge for people with long illness that lacked immediate medical treatment.
In February this year, SEHA ran 90 free operation for people with hare-lip.
