From Data to Decisions: A Bold Innovation to Strengthen Ethiopia’s Health System Healthcare Data-Clinic
(Organized by the OHB, 2026-01-12) Dr Natnael kebede, Dr. Nahom Tsehai,
Ethiopia’s health system faces a critical paradox: while vast amounts of data are generated daily, less than 48% of decisions are based on it. In 60% of facilities, patients wait over four hours, and diagnostic and medication resources are underused by 40%. This data-to-action gap causes inefficiencies and life-threatening delays, obstructing progress toward Universal Health Coverage.

Effectiveness of Digital Health Innovation to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health of Adolescent and Youth
(Organized by the OHB, 2026-01-12) Oli Kitila, Getu Gizaw, Merertu Wondimu, Badiru Dawud, Rahma Ali, Afework Tadele
Adolescents and youth represent a critical demographic in the transition from childhood to adulthood, yet they disproportionately suffer from sexual and reproductive health (SRH) ill-health due to a lack of adequate knowledge to make informed decisions. In low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, this manifests in high rates of unmet need for family planning, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. There is an urgent need for innovative, scalable, and youth-friendly strategies to deliver accurate SRH information and improve knowledge and attitudes, thereby enabling this group to exercise their sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR).

Innovative, Low-Cost Institutional Model for Preventing and Managing Burnout: Lessons from the Well-Being Corner Initiative
(Organized by the Oromia Health Bureau, 2026-01-12) Ephrem Kelemework, MD, MPH, Prof Getnet Mitikie, Dr Bekalu Wubshet,
Burnout among healthcare professionals is a growing public health and workforce crisis in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara Region. Studies show that up to 60% of health workers in public hospitals experience burnout, resulting in low morale, poor quality of care, and high turnover. Although the Ministry of Health launched the national Compassionate, Respectful, and Caring (CRC/MCC) initiative, its implementation remains limited at facility level. Felege Hiwot and Addis Alem Hospitals, with low staff satisfaction and high stress levels, were selected to pilot an innovative solution to improve workforce motivation and psychosocial well-being.
