St. Paul’s Hospital Officially Launches Open-Heart Surgery Service
St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) officially launched its Open-Heart Surgery Service today — a major step forward in advancing specialized medical care in Ethiopia.
The service began on 21 Tikimt 2017 (E.C.) through a partnership between St. Paul’s Hospital, Tazma Specialized Surgical and Medical Center, and the Children’s Heart Fund of Ethiopia. Since then, 30 patients have received life-saving cardiac surgeries, leading up to today’s official inauguration.
During the event, partners and individuals who played a vital role in the program’s success were recognized with certificates of appreciation.
Tazma Specialized Surgical and Medical Center trained the cardiac nursing team, supplied essential surgical equipment — including a heart-lung machine — and provided ongoing patient support.
The Children’s Heart Fund of Ethiopia donated vital surgical materials and served as a training site for cardiac nursing staff.
Dr. Lemi, Academic and Medical Services Provost, commended the hospital’s commitment to advancing cardiac care. He also announced that within 8 to 10 months, the service will move to a new, fully equipped facility — expanding access and capacity for heart surgery at St. Paul’s.

Two Journalists Thank St. Paul’s Hospital for Helping Them Get Back to Good Health
Two journalists from the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA), Mr. Solomon Ayele and Ms. Yeshiembet Demeke, have expressed heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and nurses at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College for helping them recover and return to good health after their surgeries.
Mr. Solomon was treated for chronic pancreatitis, while Ms. Yeshiembet underwent surgery for gallstones. Both described the care they received as kind, professional, and full of compassion, praising the hospital’s medical team for their dedication.
They gave special thanks to their surgeons — Dr. Weletaw Chane, Dr. Endalkachew Hailu, Dr. Kirubel Hailu, and Professor Mheteme Bekele — as well as to the nurses, physicians, and all health professionals who supported them during their recovery in the surgical ward.
Now fully recovered and back at work, both journalists say they will always remember the warmth and professionalism they experienced at St. Paul’s.
Their story is a reflection of the dedication, teamwork, and kindness of St. Paul’s Hospital’s medical staff — always ready to give their best care to every patient who walks through their doors.

Ethiopia Takes a Leap Forward in Mental Health Care with Brain Stimulation Training
Ethiopia is moving closer to offering advanced mental health treatments with plans to introduce Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a breakthrough therapy for depression.
Doctors from the Department of Psychiatry at Saint Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) are currently in Munich, Germany, learning the new technique at Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU). Leading the delegation are Dr. Meskerem Abebe and Dr. Surafel Worku, who are receiving hands-on training and a “Training of Trainers” certification. This will allow them not only to bring the therapy back to Ethiopia but also to teach it to other mental health professionals, building local expertise for the first time.
The training is part of the two-year BEAM clinical partnership project, which aims to establish Ethiopia’s first dedicated program for TMS therapy. The initiative comes at a crucial time: depression affects millions in the country, yet treatment options remain limited, inconsistent, and often out of reach.
Once the program is in place, patients with treatment-resistant depression will have access to care that was previously unavailable in Ethiopia and across East Africa. Experts say the new therapy could transform mental health services, giving hope to those who have struggled for years without effective treatment.
Dr. Meskerem and Dr. Surafel also hope the project will inspire wider collaboration, showing how innovative partnerships can help countries develop life-changing healthcare solutions, even in settings where resources are limited.
