(OPride) – Several volunteers from two California-based charities – the East African Medical Relief Foundation (EAMRF) and Here4them – are spending the first two weeks of November providing restorative care at the Nejo Hospital in Ethiopia.
Located in western part of the Oromia region, Nejo hospital and its six physicians serve over 500,000 people. In this part of rural Ethiopia, where advanced medical treatments are almost always out of reach, villagers often walk 6-8 hours to seek medical attention. On Nov. 10, a team of 11 American doctors, nurses, and logisticians from northern California arrived in Nejo on a medical evangelism mission. More at Opride
