First, heartfelt thank you for those who have been generous with their gift. As you are witnessing the effects of COVID 19 in the US and Europe, it is not hard to imagine how devastating it can be in countries like Ethiopia. As we discuss with some of our physician colleagues back home, there is a dire shortage of basic material needs, such as PPE, ventilators, O2 supply, medication and fundamental knowledge as to how to combat this illness. In terms of knowledge transfer, we are putting together a series of online webinars to share experiences in intensive care of the sick and infection control.
The anticipated spike in serious COVID 19 cases in Ethiopia is probably few weeks out which means there is a real opportunity for us to do something tangible in preparation for this pandemic. We have raised one third of our initial goal and you can help us reach our modest goal of USD$100K. As you all know this is our first major drive for an incredibly important cause. Our parents, friends, brothers and sisters need our urgent support. We are all in this together. The pandemic has no border, but the impact in a resource and skill challenged country like Ethiopia would be devastating. Our 350 members truly appreciate your generosity to help our colleagues in Ethiopia.
