Neurosurgeon from Germany 🇩🇪 helps children with congenital malformations in Asmara

A film about the neurosurgeon’s work will be screened in 🇩🇪 Bonn on Wednesday, 20 May at the Rex Lichtspieltheater. Admission is free.

Ten years of commitment in Eritrea: What began as a voluntary medical initiative has become a sustained humanitarian mission.

Prof. Martina Messing-Jünger, Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at 🇩🇪 Asklepios Children’s Hospital Sankt Augustin, travels twice a year with a team of anesthesiologists and nurses to Asmara, Eritrea, to treat children born with congenital malformations.

The mission is linked to the Center for Pediatric Surgery (IOCCA) in Asmara, co-founded by former pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Andreas Urban and supported by the German aid organization Archemed.

Cycling is the favorite national sport of Eritrea and the enthusiasm around it is indescribable. While on the road you hardly ever cycle alone as happened yesterday on the Mountain pass between Keren and Asmara.

As Head of the German Embassy in Asmara I enjoy the privilege and opportunity to embark on regular bicycle tours thus enjoying the beauty of Eritreas versatile landscape and the openheartedness of its friendly and resilient people.

During his visit to Keren, Mr. Pilz, Head of Mission of the German Embassy, paid tribute at the British and Italian war cemeteries, dedicated to the British, Eritrean, Indian, Italian & Sudanese soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Keren during the Second World War. Standing among the graves serves as a painful reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring importance of peace, remembrance, and reconciliation.
