The preventive diagnostics on cervical cancer is starting from today at the University of Gondar in Ethiopia, thanks to the training given to Ethiopian doctors and paramedics by the team of Italian doctors collaborating with GSI Italia. A qualitative leap in the Ethiopian medicine made possible also by the financing of our Association through the preparation of the laboratory of microscopic analysis and cytological diagnostics. To verify the good functional performance of the service Dr. Francesco Panella, former head of obstetrics and gynecology and technical manager of the project, is in mission for GSI Italia in Gondar. This concludes our preparatory work for the field of gynecological tumors and starts the autonomy phase of the formed Ethiopian team, which we recognize to be animated by great personal and collective motivation. It will be the first specialist diagnostic center in Ethiopia, called to train other specialists in other Ethiopian universities and cities. GSI Italia is proud to be its maker.
