Ayder  Comprehensive Specialized Hospital was doing Permanent pacemaker implantation primary PCI (Percutaneous coronary intervention) for patients with heart block and heart attack respectively with its own cardiologists since 2016. Hundreds of patients were benefited from this service.

The global 16 days campaign, 16 days of activism against gender based violence, is being held from November 25- December 11. This year’s theme is ‘UNITE! Activism to end violence against women and girls’.

Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (ACSH) is the largest hospital in Tigray. It used to be the only hospital in the region that provides a comprehensive tertiary care. But now due to the ongoing war and siege that lasted for almost two years, the hospital is almost in the verge of collapse.
