Background
The Ministry of Health, the
Department of Community Medicine at Addis Abeba University, and ENAHPA agreed to
focus on the skills gap identified by the country's projected health manpower
needs. The lack of adequate number of physicians, nurses and health officers
were identified as priority areas of focus.
Project goals

To develop inter-institutional
relationships between US and Ethiopian training centers. To this end ENAHPA has
solicited and obtained the collaboration of the University of
Washington MEDEX program which trains Physician's Assistants and the School
of Nursing and The Physican's Assistants School at Emory University.
