19th Mission to Eritrea: 22 Life-Saving Procedures and New Skills for Paediatric Care

The 19th Med.Action mission in Eritrea was an outstanding success. The team of Italian cardiac surgeons worked alongside local doctors to provide high-quality paediatric care in a complex healthcare environment.

During the mission, the team carried out: 22 complex surgical procedures, saving the lives of children affected by severe heart conditions; 156 screenings to diagnose and monitor other critical conditions; intensive training for young local doctors, strengthening healthcare skills and expertise within the community.

Beyond the surgical procedures, the Italian team shared protocols, techniques and know-how, ensuring a long-lasting impact that goes beyond a single mission. The partnership between Med.Action and local healthcare facilities demonstrates the importance of investing in training and international cooperation to guarantee sustainable, high-quality care even in the most vulnerable countries.

Med.Action’s missions are made possible thanks to supporters, donors and volunteers who believe in protecting children’s health. You can contribute through donations, volunteering or by supporting fundraising events.
