Ethiopia’s health sector attracted significant national investment, with over 70,000 community health centers built and 80% of citizens covered by community-based health insurance. Health Minister Dr. Mekdes Daba stated that the reforms aim to reduce donor dependence and enhance local manufacturing, workforce skills, and digital healthcare capabilities. The International Conference on Primary Health Care in Addis Ababa praised Ethiopia’s community-led model as a driver of sustainable growth and a foundation for Africa’s future health economy.
