Trauma: The New Epidemic takes a look inside AaBET Hospital, a repurposed hotel that serves as Ethiopia’s only public hospital dedicated to trauma. The award-winning documentary short is raising awareness of the high burden of trauma in Ethiopia and the effective collaborative efforts in the United States to train physicians and nurses, equip hospitals, and save lives—many of which are children.
