The ENT specialists will be assisted by Dr Krisztina Tóth, anaesthetist. The assistance of the doctors was requested by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health through the Embassy of Hungary to Ethiopia. The Embassy will provide effective assistance in the preparation of the mission as well as during the stay abroad.
