Led by a team from St. Francis Hospital of Budapest, a ten-day medical mission in Chad’s capital, N’Djamena, at the end of November, Hungarian specialists participated in the further training of local healthcare workers, performed several surgical procedures, and laid the foundations for a healing and educational model that can be applied at an international level.
The program was launched in 2024 with the support of the Hungary Helps Program. This was the third time that the Hungarian medical team led by Budapest’s St. Francis Hospital had been to this region as part of the mission.
As a result of the ten-day program, the first dual-chamber pacemakers were implanted in the sub-Saharan region. István Hartyánszky, professor and head of the Department of Cardiology at Semmelweis University’s Városmajor Heart and Vascular Clinic, Emil Toldy-Schedel, cardiologist and electrophysiologist at the Buda Hospital of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, director general of the St. Francis Hospital in Budapest, and Anna Medgyesi, a trained colleague from the Cardiology Department of Honvédkórház (Central Hospital of Northern Pest-Military Hospital).
The participation of the Hungarian cardiologists was made possible by the support of Béla Merkely, rector of Semmelweis University, and Gábor Duray, head physician of the Cardiology Department at Honvédkórház. An important goal of the mission is to increase local expertise, develop self-sufficient healthcare capacity, and ensure that Chadian patients in urgent need of pacemakers do not lose their lives due to a lack of local care and do not have to travel to other countries for treatment.
The procedures performed during the mission were therefore carried out with the active participation of local specialists, and training for Chadian colleagues is also taking place in Hungary. The goal is that by 2026, Chadian specialists will be able to perform pacemaker implantations locally and independently under the supervision of Hungarian doctors.
During the ten-day mission, more than twenty people received further training in cardiology, and emergency and intensive care training also continued. The mission team, led by Judit Tóth, an anesthesiologist, intensive care, military, and disaster medicine specialist, and consisting of anesthesiologists, intensive care, and emergency medicine specialists—Örs Doloczki, Virág Bagdy, and Andrea Tóth—trained Chadian healthcare professionals in the care of critically ill patients, emergency triage (teaching participants how to assess and prioritize patients’ conditions in emergency situations—ed.), and advanced resuscitation.
The training program also achieved another milestone: the training of a local teaching team began, which will be able to pass on its knowledge independently in the future.
These advances are particularly significant, as they could reduce the mortality rate in emergency cases by up to half in the short term. The program has contributed to the training of local doctors, the establishment and development of a triage system, and the long-term effectiveness of emergency care. Specific results of the mission include training nearly 50 people in triage and resuscitation, training ten local instructors, and providing further training to ten nurses working in the intensive care unit. An additional benefit of all this is that it reduces the emigration of local professionals and creates long-term independence and development opportunities for local communities.
In addition, the Central Hospital in N’Djamena has involved colleagues from other Chadian hospitals who are undergoing professional training in the education process, so that the training has an impact on the entire country’s healthcare system.
The Chadian mission is also a humanitarian model that saves lives, develops communities, and strengthens Hungary’s international role and professional authority. The project enables the establishment of an independently operating, internationally recognized healing and educational structure that ensures both the long-term development of the country’s healthcare system and Hungary’s lasting professional presence in the region.
