Time for an August Cardiac Mission Update! 🚑❤️ In the past two days we have witnessed many life-saving and pioneer procedures performed by the Heart Attack Ethiopia team. On August 19th, the team completed 11 procedures, including coronary angiography, PCI, and DVR. The team had done 3 ground breaking procedures in Ethiopia: micro aspiration catheter, LIMA to LAD stent anastomosis graft, and PRIMARY PCI within the golden hour. While on August 20, 2024, there were 8 procedures done. 6 of them were interventional cardiac procedures while 2 of them were open heart surgeries ( DVR and Mitral valve replacement). GIV-Ethiopia is proud to have recruited, trained, and deployed volunteers each day of the mission to maximize the impact of this initiative. Our medical professional volunteers have been actively participating in facilitating day to day activities. These activities included recording patients data pre-operatively, counseling for consent and translating for better communication. Follow us on our social media channels to see how our health professional volunteers are making a difference and to get real-time updates on the campaign! ❤ Stay tuned and support us as we drive change through volunteerism! #GIVSocietyEthiopia #HeartAttackEthiopia #HealthForAll #August2024
