Introduction
In Groningen (the Netherlands) a group of rehabilitation workers all employed by the UMCG (Groningen University Medical Center), department of Rehabilitation (CoR), have enthusiastically committed themselves to supporting rehabilitation care in Tanzania. The group’s dedication is to share the know-how of rehabilitation care with co-workers in Tanzania. By building a bridge between the UMCG CoR and Tanzania both parties are likely to benefit constructively.
