When Women for Women Reconstructive Surgery came to East Africa, it selected the Aga Khan Hospitals as partners for its reconstructive surgery. In Tanzania, for example, the all-female team of surgeons from the United States and Canada worked with the non-profit Aga Khan Hospital and a government hospital, Muhimbili National Hospital, to offer reconstructive surgery to the neediest of patients. The work also included teaching and training local surgeons.
