Global health & adventure in tanzania
I am Maran Fazzi, a medical doctor from the Netherlands, specialised in Global Health and Tropical medicine. I currently work at Endulen Hospital, which serves the people—predominantly Maasai—living in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. Alongside my clinical work, I am an expedition medic and a course director for the WLS:MP course (formerly AWLS), and I have completed a mountain medicine course in Austria.
