Germany donates medical equipment to Ethiopia

The German Development Cooperation, the Bavarian Office for Africa and Menschen für Menschen (MfM) hand over medical equipment valued at EUR 1.2 million to the Ethiopian Ministry of Health to strengthen the Ethiopian health system.

The medical assets handed over included a wide range of essential medical equipment, such as ventilators, diagnosis machinery, laboratory equipment, operation room facilities, ICU machinery, maternity facilities as well as ward and admission facilities. 

The medical equipment will support health facilities in Ethiopia, including the conflict-affected Amhara, Afar and Tigray regions, assisting in the enhancement of healthcare services and facilities in these areas, ultimately benefiting local communities and individuals in need.

The provision of specialized training for medical and technical personnel, also guarantees the effective utilisation of the equipment’s clinical capabilities, thereby effectively addressing the diverse needs of individuals and local communities.

These were donated to the MoH by the German Government (BMZ, German Federal Ministry of Health and German Foreign Office) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and by the Free State of Bavaria through the Menschen für Menschen (MfM) Foundation.
