The chairman of the association Etiopia Witten e.V., the physician Ahmedin Idris, has now been able to announce that the two emergency vehicles donated at the initiative of the association Etiopia-Witten e.V.  by the city of Witten to their partner city Mekelle in Ethiopia have become a complete success. The two vehicles have now been fully equipped with local material and the Ethiopian medical, nursing and technical staff is trained. Within the past 6 months, more than 300 operations with the emergency car have been successfully carried out in the city of Mekelle and the surrounding area. They are the first of their kind to become a model for other cities in Ethiopia, which are now striving to build up a comparable medical rescue service.

This is once again a successful example of cooperative development assistance by the association Etiopia-Witten.
