The OU is proud to have made a contribution to training Ethiopian community health workers, as illustrated by this video...
It challenges the stereotype of Ethiopia as a country beset by famine and disease by giving some surprising insights into life in rural communities and how population health is being improved by the actions of village health workers.
With very simple facilities, basic equipment and a few medicines, their training in vaccination, hygiene, disease prevention and health promotion is having a significant impact, particularly in reducing infectious diseases and maternal and child mortality.
