The Society inaugurates Assayita Primary Hospital renovation works

The Ethiopian Red Cross Society inaugurates renovation works of Assayita Primary Hospital with a cost of three million birr. The renovation work is done by the Society partnered with Finish Red Cross Society.

The work included the renovation of the Hospital’s Operation Room (OR) as well as construction of placenta pit, communal latrines, waiting areas and walkways.

During the inauguration ceremony Asayita Hospital Medical Director Dr. Aman Abdu said the renovation helps them render standard services and serve more clients.

The walk ways and waiting area also serve the community to wait comfortably until their turn reaches. ‘The sun was unbearable and it was difficult to sit and wait here’ says Medina Mohammed a 40 year old client of the Hospital who is happy about the waiting area.

Speaking on the occasion ERCS Secretary General Meshesha Shewarega (PhD) expresses satisfaction over the renovated works and stressed on the need to further collaborate to help alleviate the suffering of people living in the area.

The Secretary General seized the opportunity to call upon stakeholders to join hands for the Society’s domestic resource mobilization endeavors recalling the 21 birr million domestically mobilized revenue from the sale of coupons.

The Society is planning to collect additional 15 million birr shortly through a telethon to be organized in collaboration with prominent Artists.

Finish Red Cross Delegate Head Maritta Niskanen acknowledged institutions and individuals who have positively contributed to the realization of the project and vowed for more impactful partnerships with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society.
