• ebola

The African-Hungarian Union, together with its humanitarian projects, puts special emphasis on prevention programs that concern Africa.
Due to the Ebola-crisis in Western Africa, international health organizations called for a health emergency. AHU finds it an important task to provide correct, up-to-date information about the virus.
Please watch our video and brows our website and www.globoport.hu for more information about the epidemic.

The African Hungarian Union (AHU) has sent eight successful humanitarian missions to Africa since 2009 in which 21 Hungarian doctors have participated and helped over 21.000 patients. The doctors volunteered without any charges or fees, all the other costs were covered by the AHU donations, donations received by doctors and different sponsors.
AHU sends doctors to Africa regularly, the mission usually takes four weeks. Our association awaits doctors, physicians and healthcare workers who are eager to help those in need.

We ask our volunteers to help our cause by their professional relations. If the above mentioned humanitarian mission raised your interest and would like to know more about our missions please contact our coordinator or write to This email address is being protected from spambots.
