The clinic shall be named after their eldest daughter, Zahara, 3, adopted from Ethiopia.
Like the Cambodian Health Committee's Maddox Chivan Children's Center in Cambodia, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation backed centre shall provide medical education and social services to the children.
"Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease," People quoted Jolie, as saying in a statement.
The centre in Ethiopia would also concentrate on tuberculosis, a disease that accounts for nearly 2 million deaths in a year, and is the principal source of death in children and AIDS in adults, globally............ | | |
