A four-day humanitarian medical mission has been carried out by physicians at Sheba Medical Center to provide advanced treatment and training for local specialist medical teams in Bahir Dar, northern Ethiopia. The effort focused on neonatal care and trauma care to increase the capacity for long-term quality specialized healthcare. The mission was guided by the commitment of Israel’s largest hospital to improving health equity in developing regions, using expertise and technology to impact global healthcare.

Quote: “Together with my Sheba colleagues, I was honored to have the opportunity to share our knowledge and skills with our local colleagues in Ethiopia and to work together to treat patients with the latest life-saving treatments,” said Prof. Tzipi Strauss, director of Sheba’s neonatology department. “Our mission is not only about providing direct care to patients, but also empowering and educating local medical teams so that they can continue to provide top-quality care long after we leave.”
