August Cardiac Mission Update! 🚑❤
Over the past two days, the Heart Attack Ethiopia team has carried out life-saving procedures.
August 19th: The team completed 11 procedures, including coronary angiography, PCI, and DVR. Notably, they performed Ethiopia’s first micro aspiration catheter, LIMA to LAD stent anastomosis graft, and a PRIMARY PCI within the golden hour.
August 20th, 2024: The team successfully conducted 8 procedures—6 interventional cardiac and 2 open-heart surgeries (DVR and Mitral valve replacement).
GIV-Ethiopia is proud to have recruited, trained, and deployed volunteers each day to maximize the mission's impact. Our medical volunteers have been instrumental in recording patient data, counselling for consent, and translating for better communication.
