Southern Ethiopia - Gwent Health Link

Development of each health centre is on-going and the ‘exemplar’ standards were used for the first time in October/November 2009. There is evidence from the first assessments that each health centre was meeting some of the criteria for each of the standards and that there had been definite improvements since 2007.

The 9th year of the Southern Ethiopia Gwent health link has been another busy year, both in Gwent as well as in Ethiopia. Number of people participating in the link activities on both sides has also grown steadily.

In its 7th year since formal establishment of the link between Nevill Hall Hospital and Dilla College of Health sciences, with support from the tropical health education Trust (THET), the Southern Ethiopia Gwent health link has seen steady expansion of support and activities both in Gwent as well as in Ethiopia.I have tried to list most of the activities undertaken by various link members on both sides in the last year.

In its fifth year our link has prospered steadily with support from the Gwent health Care NHS trust, of the staff from Nevill Hall and Royal Gwent Hospital, THET and from the local community. Dr Aberra as link co-ordinator in Ethiopia has continued to lead very successfully the link activities at the other end with support and active involvement of our link partners in the college and in the health bureau regionally and nationally.

In its fourth year the Link has continued to develop steadily in all areas. This has been possible due to full support from THET, Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust, hard work by the Link Committee Members as well as other staff of Nevill Hall and the Royal Gwent Hospitals and generous support from the local community.
