Leadership
Kolabo was founded in 2014 by Psychiatrist Dr. Rita Watterson and Psychiatry Resident Dr. Kimberly Williams. Since then the leadership team has grown and includes a mixture of resident and staff psychiatrists.
In Tanzania, Kolabo is led by the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) Department of Psychiatry including Dr. Kiyeti Hauli and Dr. Matiko Mwita. Within CUHAS, the MPH team is supported by Dr. Elias Charles in the CUHAS School of Public Health.
Our Team
The amazing work within Kolabo could not have been done without the help of many people. We would like to acknowledge these individuals for their significant contributions to this project since its inception.
We would also like to thank all of the Psychiatry residents who have worked so hard to develop curriculum content and teach with the Kolabo Project each year.
We would like to thank the Cumming School of Medicine Global Health and International Partnerships Department for its sponsorship and support.
