Hello Friends,                                    

All of our Summer Institute programs are in full swing as our 2016 participants are currently on the ground in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Nepal!

That's not all we're up to. Check out the latest from our BMET Training program, our student program, and our friends at Sparo Labs!

News From BMET Cambodia

Big news from our BMET Training Program in Cambodia! In May, our first group of students completed their National Exit Exams for an associate degree in biomedical technology, which will be recognized by Cambodia's Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, Youth, & Sport. In the picture above, a student undertakes his practical assessment of fault finding in an anesthesia machine while MOH and MoEYS representatives observe the test.

In other big and very exciting news, our partner, the University of Puthisastra, has hired Mr. Dhritiman Das, who has been an EWH mentor and trainer for BMET Cambodia. Mr. Das will lead the BMET Department & BMET Clinic as the program transitions to UP leadership. EWH's country coordinator, Mr. Ung Kunthear, will also stay with UP as a staff member of the BMET Department, helping to ensure a smooth continuation of the program.
