Saint Yared Higher Clinic, which
occupies the entire first floor of the Kelifa Business
Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was opened at an inaugural
ceremony attended by his Excellency Dr. Tedros Adhanom,
Ethiopian Minster of Health on February 22, 2006. According
to several healthcare professionals, it is one of the finest
clinics in all of Ethiopia. It operates on a 24/7 basis and
has its own radiological services (x-ray, ultrasound), fully
equipped laboratory and a pharmacy in order to provide
sustainable healthcare services. The clinic also has 15
modern hospital beds being used for acute/urgent care needs.
The staff consists of Ethiopian and American trained doctors
and nurses chosen for their experience and high-level
training. Special arrangements have been made with the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, and
other American healthcare facilities in order to facilitate
a continuous flow of highly trained American physicians. For
example, third year medical residents from Albert Einstein
College of Medicine have been rotating at Saint Yared Higher
Clinic on a monthly basis and will continue to do so. This
arrangement will contribute to the quality and standard of
medical care provided at the clinic.
