Our team continues to keep quite busy! We had OR cases in two different hospitals both Wednesday and Thursday. We saw patients in the clinic and also at Makanissa School for the deaf.
Students at Makanissa School for the Deaf
Makanissa is a large day school for deaf children and their siblings. All of the children were screened and had their ears examined. Some needed hearing tests and some had molds made so make hearing aids. Some will be seen on our next trip to see if they are surgical candidates.

Wednesday we had dinner at a traditional Ethiopian restaurant with some volunteers from Health Volunteers Overseas who are teaching students in the Nurse Anesthetist Master’s degree program. Thursday, some went to another Ethiopian restaurant with a local ENT surgeon, and some had dinner with volunteers from Seattle Anesthesia Overseas who are working at Black Lion Hospital.
Friday includes three ear surgeries at Cure, more hearing tests and ear molds and Makanissa and then packing for a late night flight.
