IST MEDICAL SCHEME CLINIC (DAR ES SALAAM MEDICAL CLINIC)

Our History
Belia Klaassen MD and Ype Smit MD have been responsible for the medical services of the IST Clinic for over 25 years, since they founded the IST Clinic in its current form in 1997. Both specialized in family medicine in The Netherlands, with postgraduate training in tropical medicine. Prior to moving to Dar es Salaam in 1997, they had been working in mission hospitals in rural Tanzania since 1988.

The IST Clinic built and fully equipped a new clinic in 1998 in close cooperation with the International School of Tanganyika. From the onset, the clinic has provided 24-hour medical care to residents of Dar es Salaam and throughout Tanzania. There are daytime clinics by appointment or walk in, and out-of-hours services at night and over the weekend.
