Israel's Humanitarian Efforts Continue in Africa



Israel Upgrades Kenya's Medical Abilities -Ryan Jones

Israel provided a major boost to the Kenyan medical system when a team of Israeli aid workers built the first full emergency room in Kisumu, the country's third largest city.

A team of 10 Israeli engineers built the state-of-the-art facility and equipped it with the best medical equipment, all free of charge, in a project undertaken by MASHAV, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Agency for International Development Cooperation.

[T]he Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that it will use the new facility as a base from which to train local Kenyans in emergency medicine.

MASHAV also intends to repeat the Kenyan project in Uganda and Tanzania in the coming years.
