United Republic of Tanzania

International League of Dermatological Societies | 15 Jul 2023

Press release (2023) and overview of the Regional Dermatology Training Centre (RDTC) in Moshi, Tanzania. The RDTC is a supra-regional training, research, and clinical centre that provides care to dermatological patients and training to Medical Assistants and Clinical Officers.

Initiated in 1990 through a partnership between the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS), the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC), and the Good Samaritan Foundation (GSF), the RDTC has become a beacon of progress and unity. It has an alumni network of over 314 dermatovenerology officers serving 17 African nations and hosts the flagship Advanced Diploma in Dermato-Venerology (ADDV) programme. It also offers an MMed Dermatology Programme, from which 44 consultants have graduated and now lead in 9 African countries. The RDTC's legacy reverberates across the African continent.
