Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, is one of the poorest on earth. An overwhelming majority of Ethiopia’s 82 million people lack access to basic healthcare. Ethiopia’s poor is largely illiterate and still depends on subsistence farming. The technological and medical breakthroughs of the new millennium have not affected Ethiopians even in smaller ways. Communicable but deadly diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, waterborne diseases, pneumonia, and goiter claim the lives of many. Amid these dire situations, a medical mission from California is trying to uplift a hospital in Najo. The country’s botched health policy falls short of matching the unprecedented population growth.
Najo is located in western Oromia region of Ethiopia. Oromia is home to Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group, the Oromo.
