Dr. Mark Karnes leads the obstetrics team at Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia. He recently traveled to Bucama to see some prolapse patients. The women found out that he was coming and dropped in to say thank you for changing their lives. He was so humbled and sent us these pictures to thank us for being a part of this project. It's an honour to partner with Dr. Mark and the team at Sodoo Christian Hospital.
Soddo Christian Hospital - OB Team
The project with the Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia has just completed its first year. It has already had a life-altering impact on women in Ethiopia. Working with Dr. Mark Karnes and his obstetrics team, over 70 women have received surgeries to correct their prolapsed uterus. Finances often prevent this surgery for many women. However, this surgery funded by MWAHFE in partnership with the hospital allows the women to have their dignity restored while also giving them the ability to return to their regular lives without pain. This is truly a miracle for these women and MWAHFE is proud to be a part of it.
This is the OB team at the Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia. Dr. Mark Karnes is in the picture with his wife Allison, our partner in the WRAPS project.
