ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Last week, a delegation of Israeli surgeons faced a daunting challenge when a general power failure interrupted a life-saving surgery they were performing in Ethiopia. But thanks to their quick thinking and resourcefulness, the team successfully completed the procedure and saved the life of their three-year-old patient.
A humanitarian delegation from Haifa’s Rambam Healthcare Campus had traveled to Addis Ababa to perform a number of surgical procedures at St. Peter’s Specialized Hospital. As part of a medical collaboration between the two hospitals, Rambam periodically sends delegations to St. Peter’s to do procedures Ethiopian doctors cannot do themselves.
