Project Mercy
Provides community development and famine relief in Ethiopia.
Overview
What started as a clinic quickly grew into a full-service Hospital. Today, the Glenn C. Olson Memorial Primary General Hospital is a state-of-the-art, medical facility that treats on average 11,000 patients a year. The hospital has fifty-two beds with the following specialties services: Pediatrics, Internal Medical, Surgical and OB-GYN, Radiology, and Pharmacy. The busiest part of the hospital is the Outpatient Clinic.
As a medical professional would you like to make a lasting impact in a part of the world that desperately needs your skills and knowledge? In the remote part of Ethiopia, there are more patients than medical professionals needed to serve them. The provider-to-patient ratio is very low.
