Brand new children's Operating Room in Ethiopia.

We were delighted to officially open our latest children's Operating Room, at Yekatit 12 Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This facility is the latest project with long-term partners Smile Train.

A truly joyous occasion, the opening ceremony presents an opportunity for a range of stakeholders, from Health Ministers to the surgical team themselves, to gather and celebrate the opening of this new, life-changing facility.

We've selected a few of our favourite images from the ceremony below.
