ABC Health Foundation

After years of efforts and much prayer, ABC has now finalized an agreement with Tirana Medical University which now allows us to provide rotations for doctors in Family Medicine and weekly trainings for Nursing and Physical Therapy students.

In the last few months we have had four medical students join our Family Medical rotation. We consider this a discipleship program and a privilege to show future doctors how to practice medicine according to Biblical values, how to treat patients with respect and dignity, how to be thorough in history taking and examination, how to include the patient in the treatment plan, and how to engage in a follow-up plan.

In May we also started giving open sessions at the University with future nurses and physical therapists. This has been a great opportunity for the students to learn new information and techniques, then just as important, to put what they learn into practice. We rejoice seeing how the Physical Therapy Laboratory that ABC donated to the University some years ago is being used and is helping new physical therapists to grow professionally.

Here is a testimony from one of our recent medical students who completed ABC's Rotation in Family Medicine:
"I am very thankful for the great learning experience at ABC Health Center. It was a joy to learn from all the team, especially from the doctors, pediatricians, and nurses. Each ABC professional had readiness to share their knowledge and experience with me and allow me to join such well coordinated patient care, where every patient is treated with compassion from the very poor to those with means. This is so encouraging.”

Thank you for partnering with ABC Health Foundation as we help train up the next generation of doctors, nurses, and physical therapists.
