Vice President for Academic Affairs of HU, Dr. Eng. Fisiha Getachew, received the ambassador at his office and discussed different ways the university can strengthen its ties with Japanese universities on areas of mutual interest through the diplomatic mission at the embassy. They also mentioned the historical ties between Ethiopia and Japan which is nearly a century as Japan is among the first foreign countries to forge diplomatic relationship with Ethiopia, 92 years back.
Ms. Takako underscored the fact that Ethiopia and Japan share history in being counties that were never colonized by European powers. In her lecture, Ms. Takako also mentioned the fact that Japan has a strong commitment to refrain from military options in its international affairs stipulated in the national preamble as the most peace-loving nation in the world. With regards to Japan's foreign policy in Africa again, she underlined the major focus being on projects that priotize human development. She also presented the comparative analyses of Japanese and Ethiopian conditions for the audience to learn from.
This has given the participants to raise various questions to the ambassador concerning the international power play and Japanese policy of avoiding military confrontations. The points raised by attendants included: that Ethiopia tried to emulate Japanese experience towards change and development as the best model; how far is Japanese policy in international relations and Africa aligned to the US policy; how the Japanese managed to overcome the disasters of WWII and become allies with the US; and what was the game changer that turned Japan into a super power after its disastrous experience of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In her reflections, Ms. Takako underlined that education was the major tool that helped Japan to come from the ashes of 1945 to its present status. In addition, the strong culture of hardwork and the high respect of the people for their leaders had a significant role in changing things around. Besides, the multilateral assistance extended from the US and World Bank played huge role in the resurrection of the Japanese economy to flourish after the crisis. The boost of industry and technology with less corruption in Japan coupled with the strong commitment of the people to work hard, respect leaders and follow principles helped in the overall national development. She also mentioned that the US is one of the most important allies to Japan, but their foreign policy are not always the same.
Finally, she said that not allowing impunity and treating grievances with patience can play very important role in getting over the harsh experiences during war and minimize animosity among people, though not easy to eliminate it all together.

Dr. Ayano welcomed the leaders saying that he is very grateful for what American College of Surgeons has been contributing to enhance the quality of clinical services at the surgery department of CMHS through their existing collaboration scheme so far. He truly appreciated the commitment of the college and its surgeons coming all the way from America to support our young surgeons enhance their career and clinical services.

He truly appreciated the commitment of the college and its surgeons coming all the way from America to support our young surgeons enhance their career and clinical services.
Dr. Ayano pointed out the fact that accidents are quite frequent in Ethiopia and demand is quite bigger than the service capacity at health centers, so the trauma center is of immense significance to at least improve the outcomes of surgery for people who suffer trauma and save more lives at the Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, CMHS.
Dr. Patricia L. Turner, Executive Director of ACS, stated that it should not be thought about quality of clinical care without research. She explained that practicing surgery cannot make sense if not supported with data gathering, review and new insights in the area, even for veteran surgeons. She underlined that knowledge and capacity of operating modern medical equipment and maintenance are as equally important as operating on the patients for proper functioning and sustainability. She indicated that volunteers will help in this area as well as continuing what theyve been contributing so far.
Prof. Dr. Girma Tefera, Medical Director of Operation Giving Back at ACS, on his part mentioned that their college is committed to support the medical faculty at HU especially focusing on building the career capacity of residents in surgery. He underscored four major concerns whenever it comes to quality of the outcomes of surgery: proper space for operation, supplies of consumables, long-term retention plan for experienced staff, and access to high speed internet. Prof. Girma also said that its absolutely necessary to conduct research to excel in the medical career, and volunteers from ACS are always ready and willing to support the residents in training and experience sharing.
Dr. Anteneh Gadisa, Chief Executive Director of CMHS at HU, also expressed a heartfelt appreciation to the ACS as one of the most reliable collaborators the college has with high level of commitment and tangible support to the faculty and the hospital. He expressed his gratitude for the volunteers for their priceless contribution towards human and material capacity building.
Finally, the visiting leaders from ACS and HU leaders agreed to renew the previous MoU to focus on specified areas of collaboration for the future. The delegates from ACS are in Ethiopia to make a field visit to HU Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital for detailed in-person review of what has been done following their collaboration scheme with the CMHS.
