Optimal access to water and sanitation facilities and proper nutrition resolves more than half of the public health problems in under-resourced settings. Leveraging Ethiopia’s water resources should also be seen as a critical public health intervention.

Just out! our paper indicated a high scabies prevalence; poor health-seeking and stigma against patients. Host density & gender affected the odds of infestation. We recommend preventive chemotherapy and educational interventions to control the outbreak and reduce the stigma.

In Ethiopia, medical doctor to population ratio is a staggering 1:20,000. Nonetheless, it has become common to see new graduates struggling to find jobs. Innovative approaches to finding new sources of funding to employ more doctors in public and private facilities is paramount.

The Council of Ministers has approved AAU's application for Autonomy. An exciting development. This makes the institution the first of its kind. This unprecedented decision brings opportunities & challenges. Rigorous planning of the transition to autonomy favours the former.

It has been four weeks since my broadband internet service is interrupted. I filed a compliant @ethiotelecom twice but alas to no avail. I expected better efficiency after all it is a tech company.

A recent study by @AfricaCDC shows inadequate National #CHW programs financing & sustainability, where only 21% of 42 #AU MSs that participated in the survey have a community health worker investment case & only 26% have a budget line for payment of #CHWS. We can change this!.
