Abdu Adem Yesufe, Clinical Oncologist and Sub-Saharan African Regional Council member at ASCO, shared on LinkedIn:
“Stay tuned as the 28th ARM (Annual Review Meeting) kicking off from Hosanna, Central Ethiopia Regional State, a pivotal moment for Ethiopia’s health sector!
Under this year’s powerful theme – ‘Transformative Reform for a Sovereign and Resilient Health System’-health leaders, policymakers, regional implementers, and sector stakeholders are gathering to evaluate performance, share ground-level insights, and map out the next chapter of our healthcare journey. This year’s discussions are anchored on critical pillars:
- Sovereign Health System: Strengthening national capacity, local ownership, and long-term resilience.
- Accountable Health: Driving transparency, performance, and responsibility at every tier of the system.
- Human-Centered Care: Keeping patients, communities, and frontline health workers at the core of all reforms.
- Sustainable Reform: Translating policy and evidence into measurable, lasting health outcomes.
Following robust field visits observing local health realities on the ground, the official plenaries and panel discussions diving into digital health, health financing sovereignty, and primary healthcare re-envisioning are officially underway.
Proud to see our health ecosystem come together to review where we are and decisively shape where we go next! Learn more about the agenda and sessions.”
