The citizens benefited from the Community Health Insurance service in the 2017 Ethiopian fiscal year (corresponds to 2024/2025 in the Gregorian calendar), Health Minister Dr. Mekdes Daba announced.
Speaking at a performance review in Addis Ababa, Mekdes highlighted key achievements:
“Improving nutrition is vital to building a healthy and productive generation.”
She noted progress under the 10-year Food and Nutrition Strategy and expanded Seqota Pledge, which reached 334 districts in 2017 and aims for 520 districts in 2018 to eliminate malnutrition by 2022 EC (2029/2030 in the Gregorian calendar).
Mekdes also cited national initiatives like Green Legacy as essential for strengthening Ethiopia’s nutrition system, reporting that health service coverage now exceeds 95%.
