Abstract:
Over the last decade or so, Ethiopia has made unparalleled expansion of tertiary education facilities.
The health sector, in close collaboration with the education sector, has implemented a step-wise
expansion in enrollment and training of various health science disciplines. The focus of successive
health sector development programs has been to build a robust primary health care. Therefore, the
development of human resource for health (HRH) has prioritized training of cadres fit for primary
health care purpose. This, by and large, has been successfully implemented and helped our country
make good progress in addressing priority health problems.
