$Two weeks ago, I shared one of the hardest cases our team faced — a young father with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, nearly 30 minutes of downtime, profound acidosis, Lactic acid 12, PH 7.0, refractory VF, and profound cardiogenic shock. Statistically, survival in these situations is rare. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest carries mortality approaching 90%. Today, he walked into my office. Alive. Smiling. Grateful. He even walked across to personally thank my cath lab team who fought for him 💚 First and foremost, all thanks and glory to GOD 🙏 🎯 There are moments in medicine where we do everything we can — and the final outcome is not entirely ours to decide. 👉This was not the work of one person. It was a SYSTEM : • A bystander who acted • Early AED use ‼️ • An extraordinary EMS field crew • A coordinated ED, cath lab, and ICU team • The Emory ECMO team for escalating MCS support. Modern medicine saves lives in the hospital — but survival from cardiac arrest starts in the community! 🎯 With STEMIs in cardiac arrest, time is not just muscle… it is neurons. What makes this even more meaningful & inspiring is that this patient is now working to expand AED availability in his community. 👉That is how lives multiply. One survivor becomes an advocate. One saved life becomes many future chances. To our EMS teams especially — thank you for starting the chain of survival. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do.

My heartfelt congratulations to my all-time favorite city, Bishoftu, Ethiopia, and to Africa on this extraordinary $12 billion investment to build what will become one of the continent’s premier international airports (BIA). This is indeed a proud moment—not just for infrastructure, but for Africa’s confidence, vision, and future. I offer my deepest gratitude to Ethiopian Airlines whose over 80 years of unwavering dedication to safety, quality, and excellence have made it a global symbol of African pride. 🎯 Beyond aviation, the airline’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) has touched countless lives. We at Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc. are especially thankful for their extraordinary support of our life-saving missions—transporting volunteers, critical medical equipment, and air cargo that have made it possible to deliver care where it is needed most. 🎯 No development can ever be complete without protecting what matters most—people. The safety, security, and well-being of Ethiopians, passengers and the more than 20,000 dedicated employees of Ethiopian Airlines must always remain the highest priority. 🎯 As Africa’s connectivity expands, so must the systems that ensure travelers and crews have access to world-class care when it matters most. Following the completion of Africa’s largest hydroelectric power project, #GERD, this milestone stands as another deeply personal moment for me—one closely aligned with the values and causes I care about profoundly. My sincere thanks go to everyone who worked tirelessly to turn this vision into reality. 🔐 Stay tuned—important health-focused developments are on the horizon.

He waited years … barely able to walk across the room without losing his breath. His world was shrinking — until today. TAVR #5 for #Ethiopia went home today! 🇪🇹❤️ Another life saved. Another family reassured. Another father given back to his children — breathing easier, walking stronger, and living again. He had severe symptomatic aortic stenosis — one of the most lethal heart conditions. Once symptoms start, half of patients die within a year without treatment. That’s the brutal reality we’re up against. But today, we turned that reality around. Today, hope won. Access to advanced cardiovascular care like TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) should not be a privilege of geography. It’s a matter of life or death — and every heartbeat matters. We are changing what’s possible in Ethiopia — one heart at a time. Leaving no hearts behind. #HeartAttackEthiopia #TAVR Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc. Mamas A.

She’s just 14. From the mountains of Bale. Born with a major congenital heart defect that kept her from even attending school—watching from the sidelines as life moved on without her. But today… her heart has been successfully repaired. And now, for the first time, she’s ready to start school. This is not just healing a heart. This is changing a destiny. This is the kind of impact that moves souls. That reminds us why pediatric cardiac surgery isn’t just medicine—it’s a miracle in motion. Thank you to the incredible team at Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc. and our partners at The Children’s Heart Fund of Ethiopia for making this miracle real. One heart. One life at a time. But we’re leaving no heart behind. ✊🏾❤️

For too long, across our nation, children studied by smoky lamps… and even in hospitals, labor and delivery units welcomed new life under the dim light of gasoline lamps. Mothers gave birth, and doctors delivered babies, in darkness. Today, with #GERD, Ethiopia has lit a new chapter. This is more than electricity — it is dignity, safety, and hope. May this power be a light that unites us, uplifts us, and carries us forward together ✊🏾 #TogetherWeShine #GERD #EthiopiaRises
