Eritrea would soon have pediatricians specializing in cardiovascular
surgery, Say Italian physicians
A group of Italian physicians currently performing cardiovascular surgery at
the Orotta Pediatrics Hospital, expressed conviction that Eritrea would soon
have pediatricians specializing on cardiovascular surgery.
In line with the understanding reached with the Health Ministry, the Italian
physicians are performing cardiovascular surgery in the country and training
Eritrean specialists. The group has been accomplishing effective task as of
2004, and that a number of health personnel were able to upgrade their
knowledge.
Prof. Giovanni Stalin, the leader of the group, explained that the mission
of the group was initially performing surgical operation, but later on
emphasis was given to training Eritrea physicians so as to address shortage
of skilled manpower. He further explained the readiness of the Italian
University of Padova to provide special surgical education to Eritreans.
Dr. Yosef Tewolde, a specialist on cardiovascular and who pursued education
at the University of Padova for one year, said that the opportunity made
available shoulders them with heavy responsibility.
Pointing out that cardiac treatment for children costs more than 20 thousand
Euro, he said that the Eritrean government's contribution in this aspect is
commendable.
Reports indicated that the Italian medical team comprising 19 health
professionals has carried out 7 cardiovascular surgeries in collaboration
with Eritrean health personnel. (Shabait: Asmara, 15 November 2011)
