“Sorry I’ve been so busy,” my wife said to our kids. And our 9-year-old, Bekam, replied: “It’s okay, Mom, as far as you’re doing something good for the world.” 💙 Moments like this remind us why we keep going.
Huge thanks to @PiedmontHealth for the beautiful Shaheen Auditorium, the Georgia chapter organizers, and our amazing sponsors for an inspiring night with the Ethiopian diaspora in Atlanta.
When we said we’re not just launching a mission but a transcontinental cardiovascular movement—we meant it. 🌍❤️
More powerful nights ahead in Oregon, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Washington.
Stories, auctions, raffles, and a shared purpose.
Proud to be a small part of this big, beautiful wave ✊🏾 @HeartAEthiopia@MekdesDaba@dereje_dugumaMD@mmamas1973@DrTedros@DrSenait@flyethiopian@FMoHealth

🌟 Exciting News from Heart Attack Ethiopia! AND
🌟 Amrita Hospital, Kochi, India
We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in our mission to improve access to adult and pediatric cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology programs in Ethiopia! 💖
In collaboration with the prestigious Amrita Hospital in Kochi, India, and support from our global partners, we have successfully conducted our first curriculum development meeting.
This marks the beginning of a transformative training program aimed at empowering Ethiopian healthcare professionals in five key areas:
1️⃣ Adult and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
2️⃣ Adult and Pediatric cardiac Anesthesia
3️⃣ Adult and Pediatric cardiac Perfusionist
4️⃣ Adult and Pediatric cardiac Intensivist
5️⃣ Adult and Pediatric Interventional Cardiology
Additionally, we will be offering short courses for support staff, including ICU and OR nurses, to ensure comprehensive post operative care and expertise.
🎯 Amrita Hospital, with over 20 years of partnership with Ethiopia, has been instrumental in providing cardiac surgery care for many Ethiopians. Now, they're taking this collaboration to the next level by helping us build sustainable solutions through training and infrastructure development. 🌍
If you are an individual, a leader in medical industry, or an institution focused on global sustainable solutions for cardiovascular services in Africa, please feel free to contribute directly to this cause—training the next generation of cardiovascular specialists! 🙌
Join us on this exciting journey to create lasting change and improve cardiac care in Ethiopia and beyond! 🚀

With over 15,000 patients awaiting surgery and 8,000 more requiring critical interventions, your support today can help us bring hope and healing to so many.
Please consider donating today to ensure the success of this vital mission. Together, we can transform lives and build a future where everyone has access to the cardiac ❤️ care they need. Visit https://t.co/WuN8jyazSK. #donate #volunteer #heart #health #cardiac #care #nonprofit #heartattackethiopia
During our medical team’s first day working at the Cardiac Centre in Ethiopia this past August, we were alerted to a father of three suffering a heart attack that culminated in a cardiac arrest at a nearby hospital. While their doctors were able to revive the man, they had no setup readily available to perform the life-saving procedure he needed in a timely manner. That’s when our founder, Dr. Tesfaye Telila (@TTelila), a @PiedmontHealth interventional cardiologist, raced into action with our team. This video uncovers the heroic actions that followed.
Heart Attack Ethiopia is grateful to the generous donation of medical supplies from @Medtronic that were used to save this young man’s life.

An Unforgettable Weekend with a Global Icon
My wife @drmerid and I had the immense honor of spending a wonderful weekend with Professor Gebisa, a true global figure, and his lovely wife, Senait. Professor Gebisa, someone I have long admired from afar, is a 2009 prestigious @WorldFoodPrize winner and the 2023 recipient of the National Medal of Science from President Biden. @POTUS
His achievements are nothing short of inspiring, and his passion for Africa is unmatched. Discussing the past, present, and future of our beloved continent with him was a dream come true.
The warmth and wisdom shared by Professor Gebisa and Senait left a lasting impression on us.
Receiving Professor Gebisa's support and guidance is yet another big milestone for the work that our team at @HeartAEthiopia Is doing! We are truly grateful for their kindness and generosity, and for welcoming us into their lives with open arms.
This is the beginning of a cherished relationship, and we look forward to many more moments of fellowship and shared dreams.

As a volunteer for @HeartAEthiopia , you don’t just work hard for 14 hours a day; you also get to experience and practice the loving and sharing culture of one of the oldest nations in the world, #Ethiopia.
🎯 One of the most heartwarming traditions is Gursha, where people show their love, respect, and care by placing food in your mouth with their hand! Though a little modified to forks for us, the spirit of sharing and connection remains just as powerful.
