| Haile Selassie the First - November 1, 1962 |
Good health being one of man's priceless possessions. We have
continually stressed the importance of this condition together with the
many elements of progress designed for the general welfare of Our people.
Our Health Programme has prospered and expanded considerably; but
there is still much to be accomplished, and every effort in this direction is
commendable.
We are happy to be present, therefore, on this XV Anniversary of the
Founding of the Dejazmatch Balcha Hospital, an occasion which manifests
a concrete example of helpful co-operation between Ethiopia and a friendly
nation. This hospital, which was established by Us in 1947, is the
continuation of assistance given by the Soviet people that has its origin
over half a century ago.
The Ethiopian people were grateful then and are still grateful for the
assistance given for this noble and humane activity. The work carried on
here, in which the Union of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the
Soviet Union co-operate so effectively with Our Ministry of Pubic Health,
is a concerted translation of the traditional friendship existing between the
two countries.
As reported by Professor Gorbadei, the Director of this hospital, it is of
particular significance that the Ethiopian personnel are being trained as
close assistants to the Soviet doctors in order to raise their medical ability.
No better work can be done by a professional person than to help his
fellowmen through his knowledge and skill.
We hope that those trained in this hospital will acquire sufficient ability to
help their compatriots in all fields of medicine.
Deserving of mention is the summary of the results of their medical and
pathological investigations published by the Dejazmatch Balcha Hospital on
this XV anniversary.
We do not wish this occasion to pass without mentioning the generous
donation made by the Soviet Government to the memorial Hospital of Our
Beloved son Prince Makonnen Haile Selassie in prompt fulfilment of the
promise made to Us.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Soviet Red Cresent Society for the
genuine help given to the Ethiopian Red Cross Society which is headed by
Our beloved son Crown Prince Asfaw Wossen, as its President.
We thank the representative of the Executive Committee of the Union of
the Red Cross and Red Cresent Societies of the U.S.S.R., the Directore
and staff of the hospital, Your Excellency the Ambassador, and all those
who have or who are now contributing to the success of this institution,
dedicated to cater to the medical and surgical needs of its patients. Our
greetings are extended personally to Professor Miterev, Chairman of the
Society, and to the great Soviet People We send Our best wishes for peace
and prosperity.
