After attending undergraduate programme at Gonder University and general surgery at Addis Ababa University, Black Lion Hospital, went to Narayan Institute of Cardiac Science, Bangalore, India and studied cardiac surgery. I become the first cardiac surgeon for the country liberating the decade old missionaries based activity. Since then I performed more than 300 open-heart surgeries by leading the local team.

I performed cardiac surgeries from pediatric to adult from 6-month-old baby to a record 90 years old geriatrics patient for our country. I performed coronary artery bypass surgery from single to a record four-graft surgery successfully. In our country I also become the first to perform a beating heart bypass surgery. Among others; successful re do surgeries, left maze procedures, mitral valve repairs, multivalve surgeries, and AV canal defect with cor tri- atrium are the few.
