The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) helps the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia to introduce cutting edge technology, which expands access to quality health services and products for all Ethiopians. The technology officially launched today will be used by Ethiopian Food and Drug Administration (EFDA), according to the press statement from the United States Embassy in Addis Ababa. The EFDA plays an essential role in this revolution and in ensuring that these facilities have the quality medicines and health products they need. The United States is the largest bilateral donor to Ethiopia’s health sector, with approximately $150 million per year in funding for HIV/AIDS; malaria; maternal, neonatal and child health; nutrition; tuberculosis; and water, sanitation and hygiene. Overall, the United States has provided approximately $4 billion in development and humanitarian assistance to Ethiopia over the past five years.
