Abstract:
The WHO consultant/staff deployed at Ministry of Health/HEFA works and supports the Ministry of Health closely
and agreed verbally to conduct the assessment mid-late 2019. The assessment was conducted over a 4-month
period, end of 2019 through 2020. After a hiatus during the COVID outbreak, stakeholders including the Ministry of
Health, Ministry of Finance and the Health Insurance Agency were convened for a two-day workshop at the Adulala
Resort, Bishoftu, to review and validate the assessment, and update information where necessary; a separate report
on this workshop is available together with a blog here. Further updates to the assessment were made throughout
2022.
