Addis Ababa Burn Emergency and Trauma affiliated with St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, provides 24/7 specialty services in emergency medicine, critical care, trauma, and acute care surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, and forensic medicine.  The Center always appreciates getting volunteers who can provide specialty care in certain areas.  Inspire Ethiopia sent volunteers during the summer of 2019.  The volunteers worked with Dr. Rick Hodes as he treated patients with spinal deformities and heart disease as well as a variety of other rare medical issues.  Most of these patients were impoverished children from the rural areas.
