Message of condolences

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Dr. Solomon Debabe. His sudden departure has left us heartbroken. We are profoundly saddened by this great loss.

Dr. Solomon Debabe was a man of exceptional humility, politeness, and generosity. For many years he quietly helped countless people with grace, optimism, and a caring heart.

His kindness extended far beyond his immediate family and touched many in his wider community.

Dr. Solomon was among the first three Ethiopian ENT surgeons, a true pioneer who dedicated his life to serving others. After completing his ENT specialization in Germany, he returned home and began practicing at Ras Desta Hospital in the early 1990s, where he served tirelessly until retiring a few years ago. Even after retirement, he remained active and continued helping patients until the very last days of his life.

He served his country in many capacities:

• As a General Practitioner and Medical Director in Asmara (Eritrea), Harar, and Debre Zeit (Bishoftu)

• As adjunct ENT teaching staff at Gondar Medical College and Jimma Health Science Institute (Jimma University)

• At Federal Police Hospital and ECA
He was a devoted family man and is survived by his three children.

May his noble soul rest in eternal peace.
My deepest condolences to all family members. May God give strength and comfort to everyone mourning this great loss.

Dr. Leul Merid Atnafu, an Ethiopian 2025 COSECSA FCS Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery graduate, honored for achieving the highest score in his specialty board examination.

What moved everyone even more was his arrival at the COSECSA graduation ceremony held at Brundi with his mother by his side; her tears of pride, his quiet gratitude, and the unspoken story of sacrifice and perseverance they carried together.

"Today marks one of the proudest moments of my career as I graduate from the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa COSECSA and become a Fellow of the College here in Burundi.

This journey has demanded focus, resilience and faith, and reaching this point is truly rewarding.

I am deeply grateful to the AO Alliance for their generous scholarship, which made this path possible at a time when pursuing such training independently is extremely challenging for many of us in Ethiopia. Their support opened a door that would have been very difficult to walk through alone."

Left Atrial Myxoma – an obstructive cardiac tumor causing severe symptoms

We recently cared for a 37 year old woman who presented with a one week history of worsening shortness of breath and chest tightness. Over the preceding month, she had also experienced an intermittent productive cough occasionally mixed with blood.

She was initially evaluated at a hospital in Wolaita S**o, where imaging revealed an intracardiac mass. She was then referred to Tazma Medical and Surgical Center for further management.

On arrival, her condition had significantly deteriorated. She was breathless even at rest, and her heart was under considerable strain. Comprehensive evaluation identified a large left atrial myxoma a rare benign soft tissue tumor causing severe obstruction of the mitral valve. She was also found to have chronic rheumatic valvular heart disease with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation.

A few weeks earlier, she had undergone a pleuropericardial window procedure to relieve massive pericardial effusion caused by another soft tissue mass. Once she recovered from that intervention, she bravely prepared for open heart surgery.

Under the care of Tazma’s Heart Team, led by cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Berhanu Hailemariam, she underwent successful excision of the left atrial myxoma along with mitral valve repair.

The operation was technically demanding, but the tumor was completely removed and valve function was effectively restored.

She is now recovering well.

“We thought we would also die” – MVD Survivor Brother and Sister Who had Lost Their Mom and Dad

She is an 18-year-old patient who arrived at the Jinka Marburg Virus Treatment Center with typical symptoms of Marburg Virus Disease. Her 19-year-old brother, who presented a day later, came with similar complaints. Their father died of MVD weeks earlier and their mother of cancer months back. From the moment they arrived, it was clear they were in profound grief.

Under these circumstances, even communicating with them and assessing their progress was emotionally overwhelming. They had already lost both parents, their uncle was critically ill in the next room and later died out of MVD, and their aunt who had been caring for them was also in critical condition but fortunately she is one the patients who has recovered.

This week, we discharged both patients after two consecutive negative PCR results taken 48 hours apart.

Congratulations to all front liners who risked their lives and to every stakeholder who contributed to this outcome including MoH, EPHI and partners. Thank you for the timely response and continuous support.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in a Patient with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.

Our cardiology and cath lab team recently managed a 40-year-old international patient who was referred from Angola. He had a history of cardiac arrest secondary to sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, which had been initially treated in his home country.

When he presented to our hospital, he reported symptoms of headache, dizziness, and palpitations. He had no family history of cardiac illness or sudden cardiac death and no chronic medical conditions.

On evaluation:

Echocardiography revealed dilated right atrium and right ventricle.

ECG showed a T-wave inversion in precordial leads (V1–V3),

Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries.

Based on his clinical presentation and imaging findings, the diagnosis of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) was established.And the decision was made to implant an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for secondary prevention.

A dual-chamber ICD system was successfully implanted, using a defibrillator and a pacing lead.
The patient had an uneventful hospital course, remained stable throughout his stay, and was discharged after two days. At follow-up, he was asymptomatic, and pacemaker interrogation showed satisfactory parameters.

Acknowledgment:
This case was successfully managed by Dr. Mohammed Bedru, Internist & Interventional Cardiologist, and the Cardiac Team at Ethio Tebib Hospital, showcasing the hospital’s expertise in delivering advanced, life-changing interventions.
