This work was abruptly arrested by the war, and the fresh start necessary on the liberation of the country emphasized that much health work still remains to be done. A realistic approach to certain disease-problems and the necessity for compe- tent outside assistance to tackle such problems form the basis for future work. The accomplishments of the Ethiopian Government in the limited time since the war bode well for the future.

Tessema GASHAW, Medical officer 4. Yegeremu Kebede, Plastic surgeon Sr. Abeba Mekonen, out reach nurse December 10/2006 Addis Ababa Ethiopi Table of contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. 3 1. INTRODUCTION 4 2. METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS 5 3. RESULTS 9 4. DISCUSSION. 20 5. RECOMMENDATION. 22 Executive summary. The majority of Africa’s population lives in rural or remote areas while only a small percentage of healthcare facilities capable of specialized treatment are accessible to them there. Ethiopia shares the same in the way that a concentration of trained healthcare workers in the urban centers in overcrowded hospitals that not only have to treat their own patients but support the surrounding facilities. Even while the federal system in Ethiopia has provided referral hospitals in remote areas they are under-funded and constantly experiencing a shortage of trained staff. The objective of this project is to strengthen the capacities of ten university and regional hospitals, selected from a group of twenty referral hospitals in Ethiopia. The current specialized clinical out reach project in Ethiopia is just starting up as national programme. Therefore it has limited experience and resource in the Ethiopian context. Therefore it is assumed to be an area of lesson accumulation, start up for advocacy on the need of the population and indigenous system establishment. The specific criteria for assessment of hospitals were drafted based on the above the generalized scheme of strategies and they are listed as follows i.e.

The consumer price index of bread and cereals has increased by 6.6% as compared to August 2012 which contributed to the rise in the indices of food and general consumer price index.

The import parity price at the reference markets stood at US $ 447/mt for white maize and at US $ 374/mt for wheat. The nominal wholesale price of maize increased by about 6 to 12% at markets of Addis Ababa, Mekelle, Bure and Debire Markos, Bahir Dar, Dessie, Dire Dawa and Woliso.
