ADOPT. REBUILD. RESTORE.
A unique and innovative opportunity to support a project of your choice to restore health services in Amhara & Afar Regions
The destruction and violence that war brings extend far beyond the human losses caused by shells, bombs, and bullets. High vulnerability to disease increases as a result of the stress of experiencing violence and displacement, war frequently results in severe damage or destruction of health infrastructure, the departure of health workers, and the breakdown of water and sanitation systems, food shortages, and erosion of the state’s ability to prevent and treat disease. Infectious diseases, childbirth, and other destructions are catastrophes that accompany armed warfare but are not directly combat-related.
GIBH is in the process to launch the ADOPT. REBUILD. RESTORE. campaign through partnerships with the Amhara and Afar Regional Health Bureaus to participate in rebuilding and restoring damaged health facilities through its Adopt-A-Clinic Initiative. The Initiative will provide you with a unique and innovative opportunity to support a project of your choice and facilitate your direct engagement throughout a project implementation up to its completion. Detailed information about the projects will be officially announced in the coming weeks.
Global Initiative for Better Health (GIBH) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) to implement its Adopt-A-Clinic Initiative. The Adopt-A-Clinic Initiative is an innovative approach that offers a unique opportunity for ‘adopters’ in the Diaspora to participate in the development of the health sector in Ethiopia. The Initiative aims to improve health services in Ethiopia by creating a partnership platform to solicit and engage the Ethiopian Diaspora in the worthy efforts to improve quality of health care.
