The Wachemo University Nigist Eleni Mohammed Memorial Referral Hospital in Hossana gratefully received a 40ft sea container of donated medical equipment for their new orthopaedic wards. The equipment and supplies – operating tables, hospital beds, mattresses, wheelchairs, defibrillators, crutches, gloves, scrubs, face shields and gloves – will improve medical treatment for people in need of trauma and orthopaedic care.

“Your invaluable contribution has safely arrived to Hossana. We handed over the equipment in the presence of Wachemo University president and the community. The president and community representatives are really thankful for your great contributions and they have appreciated your contribution for the establishment of Orthopaedic and Trauma Centre”, said Dr Habtamu Tamrat, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Thanks to our many equipment donors, especially Wheelchairs for Kids, Ansell, and Royal Perth, Fremantle and The Mount Hospitals.
