About EAST AFRICA MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION

East Africa Medical Assistance Foundation (EAMAF) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) founded in the late 1980s to support radiology training, equipment, and related medical services in Tanzania, with a long-standing partnership centered on Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi. The organization’s core work focuses on building sustainable local radiology capacity through training programs, equipment donations, and salary support for specialist staff, and it collaborates with international partners on broader specialty initiatives such as cardiac care. In recent years EAMAF has continued program activity while reporting modest revenue levels; it has been involved in planning and early support for a cardiovascular care center at KCMC and remains active in funding equipment and training initiatives for radiology and related services.
