KOICA Donates Medical Devices to St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College in Ethiopia
Through its Ethiopian office, the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has donated medical devices and instruments to the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College. This donation, part of a 6.3 million Ethiopian Birr project, aims to bolster the hospital's ability to provide high-quality care to patients, especially those suffering from respiratory conditions.
At a ceremony held today, KOICA’s Country Director in Ethiopia, Mr. Han Deog Cho, officially handed over the medical equipment to the hospital’s Provost, Dr. Sisay Sirgu. The donated medical devices include essential tools for diagnosing and treating lung diseases, marking a significant contribution to the healthcare sector in Ethiopia.
These medical devices are expected to directly enhance the hospital's capacity to deliver advanced medical care, particularly in the Internal Medicine department, where there is an increasing demand for respiratory treatments. The donation is part of KOICA’s broader initiative to support Ethiopia’s healthcare system and ensure improved health outcomes for its population.

🌟 Spotlight on Dr. Hana Abebe Gebreselassie: Advancing Pediatric Surgical Care Globally 🌟
We are incredibly proud to highlight the achievements of Dr. Hana Abebe Gebreselassie, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College. Dr. Hana is currently making waves on the global stage as a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford under the prestigious Africa Oxford Initiative (AfOx).
Her groundbreaking research focuses on pediatric surgical care, specifically addressing congenital anomalies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). During her fellowship, she is collaborating with Professor Kokila Lakoo at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, leading a project titled:
“Developing and Validating a Neonatal Screening Tool for Congenital Anomalies in LMIC Settings.”
This innovative project seeks to design a practical, physical-examination-based screening tool to enable early diagnosis and referral for newborns with congenital disorders in resource-limited settings. The initiative is poised to enhance neonatal survival rates and significantly impact child health outcomes in Ethiopia and beyond.
👏 Join us in congratulating Dr. Hana on this outstanding achievement!
