Relief Flight Takes Medical Supplies To Ethiopia

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.

Ethiopian Airlines says it is committed to support worthy social activities, which are designed to help build sustainable livelihoods for individuals and the community.
