Russian Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko and Ethiopian Ambassador to Moscow Genet Teshome Girrou discussed plans for cooperation between the two countries in the field of healthcare and prospects for its development this year. This is reported on the website of the Russian Ministry.
The parties agreed to increase comprehensive cooperation, including in the field of medical education. According to Murashko, 24 Ethiopian citizens are currently studying at Russian universities. He added that the Russian leadership is ready to expand this cooperation and provide support in the training of Ethiopian specialists in narrow medical fields, Fana Media Corporation (FMC), a partner of the TV BRICS network, reports.
“Today, we are also training specialists who already have a medical degree. In particular, 87 Ethiopian doctors have been trained in our country on assistance in the field of motherhood and childhood,” Murashko stressed.
At the meeting, the Minister and the Ambassador outlined joint plans. Among them is the consultation of patients in Ethiopia by Russian specialists. Murashko added that Russian doctors are ready to share their knowledge with their Ethiopian colleagues.
Moscow and Addis Ababa maintain active cooperation in this area. For example, the Russian side supplies mobile laboratories to Ethiopia to support the efforts of the republic’s authorities to strengthen the healthcare system.
