Phase 1 of the Hamlin College of Midwives’ expansion will be completed this year, with new teaching facilities for 250 students, accommodation for 172 residential students and a new library and cafe.
Other new facilities include a lecture hall and laboratory. Hamlin Midwives are pivotal to the success of Project Zero and the eradication of fistula so these new spaces are urgently needed to cater for the increasing numbers of BSc and MSc midwifery students attending the College.
“I feel proud that I am working at Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, a pioneer in providing care and support for women who are suffering from preventable birth injuries. The work that is being done is more than words can explain. I am hoping to see future generations of Ethiopian women empowered and free of all obstetric and maternity-related conditions.” – Matron Konjit
Konjit Kassahun, Dean of the Hamlin College of Midwives and Prevention Manager, is working hard to expand Hamlin’s Prevention program and ensure Hamlin Midwives have the support they need to undertake their important work.
