Medical Assistance
Death, Illness, Injury
The Embassy cannot provide health care or medical facilities for private Americans in Tanzania. We can, however, provide a list of names and addresses of doctors and facilities for you to choose from. Should you be injured or become seriously ill while in Tanzania, the Consular Section will assist you in finding an appropriate medical facility and inform family and friends at your request. In the event of the death of a U.S. citizen in Tanzania, the Consular Section should be notified as soon as possible. We can assist in notifying next-of-kin, taking possession of personal effects, and arranging for the disposition of remains. The Consular Section will also issue a Consular Report of Death of an American Abroad. This document, which is based on the local death certificate, can be used to settle estate matters in the United States.
