The Partnership for Eritrea. In the fall of 2006, The George Washington University Medical Center, Physicians for Peace, and the Ministry of Health of Eritrea signed a Memorandum of Agreement to establish sustainable post graduate medical education programs in Eritrea’s capital, Asmara. In order to combat the shortage of physicians in this severely impacted African nation, the Partnership for Eritrea is working alongside the Eritrean people to build effective, sustainable health care infrastructure. The Partnership hopes to allow Eritrea to break free from its human resources for health (HRH) shortage by bringing training programs catered to Eritrea’s healthcare needs to its native physicians. Rather than import residency curricula from the U.S. or another developed country, the Partnership’s Eritrean and American physicians have collaboratively designed curricula that address Eritrea’s specific healthcare environment. Ultimately, the Partnership aims to build a sustainable healthcare infrastructure in Eritrea’s capital, Asmara, and beyond. The program was inaugurated in December 2007 and the first class of surgical and pediatric residents started their training in January 2008. The OB/GYN residency will launch in the summer of 2009 in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center. Collaboration with Johns Hopkins University Medical Center and Yale University Medical Center for the Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine residencies respectively is underway.Web site: www.partnershipforeritrea.org
