Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines, Seattle Anesthesia Outreach Partner
On Humanitarian Mission
For the second time in less than two months, a group made up of
Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines and Seattle Anesthesia Outreach (SAO)
have partnered to deliver medical equipment to Black Lion Hospital,
Ethiopia's largest hospital. The first consignment was delivered in
December 2010. Approximately 2,700 pounds (1.2 metric tons) of
medical supplies were loaded into the cargo hold of a new Boeing
777-200LR (longer range) delivered to Ethiopian Airlines on Jan.
26. Some of the supplies, such as electrical converters and other
power items, supplement the anesthesia equipment transported in
December.
"Through collaborative efforts such as this, Boeing is able to
help bring relief to people around the world. Black Lion Hospital
provides free medical care to the poor and this equipment will
improve capabilities there," said Liz Warman, director of Boeing
Global Corporate Citizenship for the Northwest region.
The supplies will prove vital when a group of 28 Seattle
doctors, nurses and technicians travel to Ethiopia next month as
part of ongoing humanitarian support to that region. Since 1992,
Boeing and airline partners as well as non-profit partners in the
Humanitarian Delivery Flights (HDF) program have collaborated on
many humanitarian missions.
November Relief Flight Supplies
Ethiopian Airlines says it is committed to support worthy social
activities, which are designed to help build sustainable
livelihoods for individuals and the community.
