We’re very excited to see the publication of an article written by one of our contacts in Ethiopia, Fred Harter, which describes the current state of palliative care in the country and the critical work carried out by Hospice Ethiopia. Please read the full article here. Following this Ephrem, the director of Hospice Ethiopia in Addis Ababa was interviewed by the BBC in August, for their Newsday radio program.
Sue and Jamie have recently been meeting in the UK with some interesting contacts.
First, Dr Nuhamin Tekle, who has worked closely with Hospice Ethiopia in Addis Ababa, has been back in London continuing her studies at King’s College. This is for her doctorate researching different models for providing community palliative care in resource-poor settings. Sue and Jamie enjoyed a delicious meal with her at the Beza Restaurant in London.
Second, Sue and Jamie were delighted to host Dr Marc Clark, a Canadian palliative care doctor visiting the UK. Marc has close links with the Ayder Hospital in Mekelle in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia where there is an enthusiastic team of health care professionals wanting to develop palliative care services. This was a great opportunity to discuss how collaborative work will help improve access to palliative care across Ethiopia and show Marc some of sunny Norfolk and enjoy a game of croquet!
