Boston Children’s Hospital and SPHMMC Collaborate to Advance Pediatric Nursing Practice in Ethiopia
In a significant step toward enhancing pediatric healthcare, a team of global health nurses from the Margaret C. Ryan Global Health Program at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) visited St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) for a week-long collaboration aimed at strengthening nursing practice and education.
The BCH nurses worked closely with nursing leadership and faculty from the SPHMMC School of Nursing to support the development of nursing practice committees. These committees are a critical component in fostering evidence-based care, leadership, and professional development within the nursing workforce.
In direct response to identified needs from the nursing staff, the BCH team also delivered targeted short courses on infection control—specifically tailored for nurses in the Pediatric Emergency Room (ER) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The trainings covered essential topics such as peripheral IV care and medication administration, as well as ventilator care and management, with a focus on safety and quality in high-acuity settings.
This visit reflects the ongoing partnership between SPHMMC and Boston Children’s Hospital, grounded in a shared mission to improve nursing practice, education, research, and quality improvement. Both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to collaborative efforts that enhance pediatric patient care in emergency and critical care environments.
SPHMMC expressed its appreciation for the continued support and emphasized the importance of sustainable global partnerships in advancing healthcare standards. The hospital looks forward to building on this momentum and further deepening its collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital in the years to come.
