From Downtown LA to Ethiopia
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES – California Hospital last week got ready for Earth Day in an unconventional way: It shipped medical supplies and first aid equipment to Ethiopia.
On Friday, April 17, the hospital headquartered on Grand Avenue in Downtown put together a batch of baby warmers, mattresses, ventilators and other medical gear that, while still functioning, are no longer used in the United States. Rather than be trashed, they will be sent abroad via a partnership with Ethiopia Health Aid, a medical charity founded by Dr. Gudata Hinika, who is also a physician at California Hospital. “These resources will help ease the suffering of these families, as well as encourage earlier and more frequent visits to a health care provider. By helping struggling communities help themselves, we ensure not just their survival, but their progress,” said Hinika.
