Amref Health Africa is the largest African-led international health development organization headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Founded nearly 60 years ago as the Flying Doctors of East Africa, has been serving to bring critical health services to remote communities. Amref Health Africa has been active in Ethiopia since the 1960’s. The organization became fully operational and registered in the country as an international NGO in 2002, and actively engaged in RMNCAH, WASH, communicable and non-communicable diseases, youth development programs, emergency programs with gender and health system strengthening as cross cutting throughout its projects and programs.

Integrated Health System Strengthening (IHSS) is a comprehensive initiative with the goal of enhancing availability, readiness, and equitable utilization of quality health service by improving governance, enhancing health and availability of essential inputs for service delivery. Between August 2023 – July 2027, our strategy will focus on integrating HSS silo programs at subnational levels and addressing critical bottlenecks of primary health care facilities. This initiative, to be implemented in Somali, aligns with the MoH’s investment in HSS which is based on a primary health care (PHC) approach to progressively realize Universal Health Coverage.
