A Message from Dr. Kimberly Shriner
“It is with great sorrow that The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project recognizes the terrible devastation and heartbreak that has raged through Southern California these last few weeks.
Our organization was born in Pasadena, and many of our dedicated volunteers, board members, and donors have been directly affected by the fires. PSCTP’s core beliefs are anchored in preserving health for humans, animals, and indeed the planet itself.
We thank the firefighters for their bravery, appreciate the citizens’ courage, and we can already see our community coming together to rebuild and restore. Life is a very fragile thing. Resilience, love, compassion and dedication will help us move through these very difficult times.”

ABOUT PHIL SIMON CLINIC TANZANIA PROJECT
In 2002, The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project (PSCTP) took its first team of volunteer healthcare workers to Northern Tanzania. It was designed to be a fact-finding mission about the AIDS epidemic ravaging Tanzania and what we could do to help with some of the suffering of its people. That trip changed many lives, including our own. Over 200 American and European healthcare volunteers have traveled as part of the PSCTP to Northern Tanzania and shared their expertise with our Tanzanian colleagues. Now, the PSCTP has blossomed into an effective and innovative 501(C)(3) organization providing medical, surgical, social work, veterinary and specialty care in East Africa. A successful healthcare scholarship program has helped ease the tremendous shortage of physicians and nurses in Tanzania. HIV and other infectious diseases remain challenging in Africa. Effective antiretroviral therapy, education and research from many projects such as ours have helped lift some of that burden. Climate change, socioeconomic struggles, population movements, environmental destruction and political factors continue to challenge those of us working in global health. Nevertheless, we remain committed to the promotion of global goodwill and health through collaboration and compassion.

PSCTP and Team Tanzania veterinarians are working to launch our One Health project, which evaluates antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in wildlife in the Ngorongoro and Serengeti regions. This global outreach project is truly an international and multidisciplinary endeavor, with input from Tanzanian, American, and European professionals and involving several venues and services. We aim to create a robust database and research opportunities for many local and international agencies and individuals in Northern Tanzania.
One Health is fast becoming a critical strategy in assessing global health by evaluating human, animal, and environmental interfaces. PSCTP has long recognized the importance of human-animal interactions and the link between animal and human health, as demonstrated by the inclusion of veterinarians on many recent trips. This comprehensive and collaborative research project will assess the relationship between domestic animals, livestock, wildlife, and human health in Northern Tanzania.
