The Lake Tanganyika Floating Health Clinic is an international NGO whose mission is to address the problem of healthcare access for isolated communities in the Lake Tanganyika basin.
The LTFHC will provide health services via boat to remote populations who are otherwise unable to reach health care centers. The vessel will serve as the basin’s referral hospital to provide basic medical and surgical services that address prevention and cure.

In addition, the LTFHC will provide a platform for multilateral education and training opportunities, encouraging best-practices through collaboration and local support. In this capacity LTFHC will serve as a capable regional partner and will develop existing facilities to examine, triage, and treat patients appropriately. In doing so, we will promote local capacity building and will work to develop a permanent network of health services for the region. read more »
