After the horror of war, let’s help life to be reborn
Kidane Mehret Hospital is located next to the Salesian mission in Adwa. Designed with European standards and built with high quality materials and techniques to ensure durability over time, the building is nearing completion.
Since march 2019, healthcare activities have started in the first wing of the hospital. To date, the departments of Gynecology-Obstetrics, Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU), Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Radiology, three operating rooms, two delivery rooms, Emergency Room and Analysis Laboratory have been gradually activated. There are 42 beds available which, once the works are completed, will reach 177 total beds. There is also a polyclinic including Dentistry, Ophthalmology and Physiotherapy.
The catchment area includes the city of Adwa and nearby villages, also responding to the needs of tens of thousands of displaced people living in camps in the area, due to the military occupation of the territories of origin on the border with Eritrea and the Amhara region.
Thanks to the integration with agricultural project,
patients admitted to the hospital can benefit from the internal canteen service to recover their strength, receive the right nutritional intake and promote healing.
During the bloody war in Tigray, the project was providential for the civilian population, isolated from all services, tried by hunger and violence, deprived of all basic necessities by the occupying militias and the federal administration in conflict.
