BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — In a big step toward transforming pediatric health care in Ethiopia, the Central Oregon-based nonprofit organization, ReachAnother Foundation, is spearheading the launch of the first stand-alone, state-of-the-art Pediatric Neurosurgery Center in that African country.
This groundbreaking initiative expected to be operational by summer 2024 is made possible by a generous grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. It exemplifies both ReachAnother’s commitment to creating lasting change for Ethiopian children born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus and the Helmsley Charitable Trust’s dedication to increasing access to healthcare for vulnerable children in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“This project is a significant undertaking for ReachAnother Foundation, and it marks a historic moment in Ethiopian health care,” added Yakob S. Ahmed, ReachAnother Ethiopian Country Director. “The Pediatric Neurosurgery Center at Zewditu Hospital will be a beacon of hope for children who, until now, have faced critical challenges in accessing specialized care. We are immensely grateful for Helmsley’s unwavering support, which enables us to bring about this positive and long-lasting change.”
