title: [Experiences as a surgeon in a mobile hospital of the German Red Cross--German Referral Hospital/Benaco (Tanzania)].
abstract: The German Red Cross Society participated in the international aid activities for the refugees of Ruanda. Among other duties the German Red Cross became responsible for the medical care of the refugee camp population of Benaco, Tanzania. From 1994 until 1997 the German Red Cross used its so-called Module Hospital. This is a transportable hospital, which can be installed within a few days. The technical facilities of this hospital are well adapted to the conditions of medical work in developing countries. The authors, who are surgeons, report about their experiences in this sort of emergency surgery.
