ETHIOPIA – Bahir Dar - Feb 2019
Acupuncture Sans Frontière Suisse was created in 1996 by Jacques Pialoux. The objective is to train medical personnel in acupuncture. During this mission to Ethiopia, the aim was to validate a 2-year course followed by a group of physiotherapists. The vast majority of them passed their exam brilliantly. In October, we return to begin training a new group of students and inaugurate the acupuncture center which will be installed during the summer at the Bahir Dar University Hospital.

Apprentis-Orphelins d’Afrique is an NGO welcoming around fifty orphans 30km north of Lomé (Tsevié). The site includes a school, a learning center, as well as a hospital. The idea of this project is to train some of the hospital staff in acupuncture and to open a specific service within it.

INDIA – Mumbai – 2010 to 2015
Since 2010, I have been part of the NGO Barefoot Acupuncturists in India. The aim is to provide acupuncture care at very low prices to the poorest populations in Indian slums.
I went there for a month every year from 2010 to 2015 to practice massage and acupuncture and to train local staff.
