Welcome to Ethiopia

Learn more about our partnering collaborators in Ethiopia.

Overview

Most of Michigan Medicine's collaborations in Ethiopia are concentrated at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical School, in Addis Ababa. Adjunct Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology Senait Fisseha was the catalyst for many of these partnerships, which began with Ob-Gyn but have since expanded to include other disciplines.

With the help of Michigan Medicine, St. Paul's has been able to launch post-doctoral training programs across 14 specialties. A kidney transplant program launched under the leadership of UMMS Professor of Surgery Jeffrey Punch is the first of its kind in Ethiopia. Meanwhile, the U-M Center for International Reproductive Health Training (CIRHT) has helped to expand the original obstetrics & gynecology training program launched at St. Paul's to other medical schools across Ethiopia.
