Abstract:
The Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) was established as a hospital in 1922 by an American missionary named Dr.Thomas Lambie and evolved many structures and mandates. Currently, the Ethiopian government re-established under Regulation No.301/2013 following the former Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute (EHNRI). The primary mandates of the institute are to conduct research and technology transfer, conduct public health risk surveillance for the early risk identification, detection, and prevention: strengthen national medical laboratories, alongside these to build the capacity of the Public Health workforces and manage national health data.
