Sumario:One of the major problems facing healthcare systems in countries with poor socioeconomic conditions is the need to strengthen the system through the training of physicians, nurses and other healthcare operators. Partnering with more affluent countries is the key for hospitals in these areas, but such alliances are often based on limited educational exchanges.

The main purpose is to see the changes in the clinical practice after educational interventions on health personnel in a Tanzanian cancer center.
