Chain of Hope has been working in collaboration with the Ethiopian NGO, the Children's Heart Fund of Ethiopia to create the first Heart hospital in Ethiopia. Hitherto, for a population of 77 million, there has been no cardiac treatment service. This year the dream came true, and after years of fund raising efforts, the hospital was opened in February 2009 on the grounds of the Black Lion University Hospital, Addis Ababa.
