On May 24th, installation of new laboratory equipment was completed at the Zemero Clinic in Ethiopia. Two lab technicians were trained by a representative of the Afro-German company in Addis Ababa, a PLC that imports laboratory and quality control equipment and supplies into Ethiopia. Prior to this, the clinic lacked virtually any modern lab equipment. The new equipment consists of a fully automated chemistry machine with a capacity of 200 tests per hour, a hematology machine, a three-part differential urine analyzer, a water bath for serology testing, a laboratory incubator, water purifier, shaker and a compound microscope with LED, centrifuge, rotator, refractometer, and chemistry reagents.

It goes without saying that this equipment will provide the necessary tests that will prevent thousands of people from dying needlessly. Many thanks to our generous donor St Mary Medical Center part of the St Joseph Health System.
