More Africa provides medical care because many children and young adults with disabilities in Zanzibar have limited or no access to the healthcare they need.
Healthcare in Zanzibar, particularly for children with disabilities, can be a challenge due to limited access to specialized care and medical resources. More Africa works to bridge these gaps by providing essential healthcare services to children with disabilities and their families.
