Help for self-help - a Tyrolean project in the heart of Africa
The members of the Association "Doctors for Ifakara" see their task in supporting St. Francis Referral Hospital, a hospitals founded in 1953 by the Capuchin Fathers of Switzerland and Dr. Karl Schoepf, an Austrian surgeon from Zams/Austria, in the town of Ifakara, in the south-east of Tanzania.
