Medical Mission 2016
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The Osborne Head and Neck Foundation attempted the impossible. In January 2016, we set out to Addis Ababa on a self funded medical mission to help the people of Africa. We set out for Ethiopia carrying fifty duffle bags filled with medical supplies and surgical instruments with the hope to help. Performing head and neck surgery in an under served third world country would be difficult and test all of our skills. With the dedicated and incredible talent of our team, the mission was a great success.
