Health Link of the Month

Southern Ethiopia – Gwent Health Link - Through support from THET and funding from the Christadelphian Meal-A-Day Fund motorbike ambulances have been delivered to three rural health centre in Southern Ethiopia, as well as the provision of training in its use and maintenance. This is the first time in Ethiopia that a motorbike ambulance has been introduced, and it has already made a huge difference, enabling the transport of critically ill pregnant mothers and other patients to life-saving healthcare facilities. This project forms part of a larger long-term programme providing support to healthcare facilities. For more information please visit their website at www.ethiopiagwentlink.org.

Each month, THET will promote one Health Link both on our website and in our monthly e-bulletin.
