Mehal Meda Hospital, which was disrupted by the terrorist group, has started providing medical services with the support of Menelik II Hospital and the local community, said Workneh Zewde, General Manager of the hospital.
He said the hospital is providing service for an average of 150 to 200 patients a day and additional support is required to fully restore the hospital.
Healthy Mother's Day has been celebrated in Dessie. During the ceremony, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with partners, donated over 21 million birr worth of medical supplies, medicines, two ambulances and cash to support maternal and child health.
State Minister of Health, Dr. Dereje Duguma, said during the handover that the invading forces had destroyed our institutions but will never break our strong spirit and unity. He said that we will build our institutions together and build them more than ever before.
Residents expressed their happiness to receive services from Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, which due to the war, has not been providing medical services for a long period of time.
According to Mrs. Meremo Muhe and Mr. Abebe Abraham, whom we met getting service at the hospital, they were pleased to see the hospital doors open and the white gown wearing staffs caring for patients with smiles.
