Exchange program to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Dr. Theresia Edward and nurse Christina Saria from the Burn Unit at KCMC traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia earlier this week. For the next month they will join the burn-team at the Myung Sung Christian Medical Center and participate in an extended exchange program.

Support for teaching and training in wound care and burn surgery is one of Care4Burn’s focus areas. Since 2011, we have worked to strengthen the local healthcare competencies within burn care treatment. Now we are expanding our efforts in collaboration with the MCM-hospital in Ethiopia. Our vision for 2023-2024 is to give more colleagues, like Theresia and Christina, the opportunity for a long-term exchange programme.

You can meet Theresia and Christina in the documentary “The Forgotten,” which has a premiere on Tuesday the 28th of November at Odds and Ends in Nordhavn. We will soon share details on how you can participate in the event! Stay tuned for updates!
