Medical Missions in Ethiopia

WOH opened an office in Addis Abeba. We provide humanitarian Aid, help to the communities and cervical screening throughout the year. In addition we continued to do our surgical missions by teams made of British and Ethiopian healthcare workers. We will carry out 6 surgical missions a year.

The mission members will do the normal educational activities as well as provide medical services to some of the very needy patients. The mission members will visit the orphanage that Wings of Healing supports. However, work with the local health professionals and the social workers in Ethiopia will continue till then. The services are likely to be provided in Worabe Hospital. Worabe is a 176 KM (110 miles) south to Addis Ababa.

Wings of Healing is committed to continue providing gynaecological care to as many needy patients as possible. The Charity is very happy with the support it received from the Ethiopian Ministry of Health. The team is happy to be operate where there is a need. The team enjoyed working with Ethiopian Specialists and residents. The team is committed to sharing our experience with our Ethiopian colleagues.

All experienced volunteers welcomed. Previously our group has comprised doctors (of varying levels), nurses, midwives and medical students. Our current work has been focused in women’s health (obstetrics and gynaecology) but we welcome professionals from other areas.  Teaching is a major part of what we do so experience in this area is very useful. We do ask that each volunteer raise or donate a minimum contribution to the charity.

If you would like to join one of our missions you can email Onsy at [email protected]. All the volunteers are responsible for all their expenses and immunization. The team works 6 days a week and our normal working hours are 8 am to 9 pm.
