After a 4-year planning period, a joint Ethiopian/Norwegian training program in neurosurgery was started in June 2006. The collaborating partners were Addis Ababa University; Department of Surgery, Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital; University of Bergen; Haukeland University Hospital; and Myungsung Christian Medical Center, a Korean missionary hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A memorandum of understanding was signed at dean/chief executive officer levels. Although other initiatives have been involved in supporting neurosurgery in Addis Ababa during the same period, this institutionally founded program has been the main external contributor to neurosurgical capacity building through the education of 21 Ethiopian neurosurgeons, and in supporting a sustainable environment for neurosurgical training within a network of 5 centers in Addis Ababa. This article gives an account of the strategies underlying the program planning, the history of the program, and on the experience gained by it. Finally, ethical problems and challenges encountered in the program are discussed.
经过4年的规划期，埃塞俄比亚/挪威神经外科联合培训项目于2006年6月启动。合作方包括亚的斯亚贝巴大学；提古安贝萨专科医院外科；卑尔根大学；豪克兰大学医院；以及位于埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴的韩国传教士医院——明成基督教医疗中心。双方在院长/首席执行官层面签署了一份谅解备忘录。尽管同期有其他举措参与支持亚的斯亚贝巴的神经外科发展，但这个由机构设立的项目一直是神经外科能力建设的主要外部贡献力量，通过培养21名埃塞俄比亚神经外科医生，并在亚的斯亚贝巴的5个中心组成的网络内支持神经外科培训的可持续环境。本文介绍了项目规划背后的策略、项目历史以及从中获得的经验。最后，讨论了该项目中遇到的伦理问题和挑战。
