We are a partnership between health professionals in South Wales and healthcare workers in Southern Ethiopia. Geographically and medically, the healthcare setup in Southern Ethiopia and in the Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust in South Wales are worlds apart. But, thanks to the drive and determination of a project launched in 2000, a new world of medical care and health education is being created today. Our focus has always been the skills training of front-line health professionals like health officers, midwives and nurses working in resource-poor health centres. We also provide these health centres with essential medical equipment and training material. Visit the Projects section and the Reports section for more information. |
