Healthcare in Ethiopia
‘The education of tomorrows’ doctors for Ethiopia demands the continual evolution of practices and the adoption of new and innovative strategies. Societal changes contribute significantly to the shaping of medical education. Added complexities include the explosion of scientific discoveries and new knowledge, the mounting burden of chronic diseases and the challenges of serving rural and remote populations. These
emerging issues influence the skill sets required for contemporary Ethiopian health professionals’
