Action for the Needy in Ethiopia (ANE) and Human Bridge have reinforced their collaboration to provide essential medical equipment to Negele Borena General Hospital, ensuring improved healthcare services for the local community. This commitment was formalized in a high-level meeting between Dr. Adamu Anley, Regional Director of Human Bridge, and ANE's Managing Director, Mr. Salihu Sultan, in the presence of the Borena Chief Administrator and ANE's Board of Directors.
As part of this commitment, Dr. Adamu Anley, along with his team, visited Negele Borena General Hospital on March 17, 2025, to assess the hospital’s medical equipment needs and identify key areas requiring urgent support.
Expanding Access to Medical Equipment and Supplies
Following the visit, Dr. Adamu Anley, leveraging his network, has committed to providing state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies valued at 80 million Ethiopian birr. This support will strengthen the hospital’s capacity by equipping it with modern diagnostic tools, surgical instruments, patient monitoring systems, and essential medical supplies to enhance service delivery and patient care.
ANE's Role in Facilitation
To ensure the smooth and timely travel of the team from Addis Ababa to Negele Borena, ANE has facilitated charter air transport and logistics. This support overcame the logistical challenges of reaching remote areas, enabling the team to assess the hospital’s needs and provide critical support. The efficient travel arrangements ensure that the team can carry out their work swiftly and securely, maximizing the impact of the medical equipment support for the hospital.
Transforming Healthcare Service Delivery
The provision of advanced medical equipment will significantly improve the hospital's ability to diagnose and treat patients efficiently. This initiative will particularly benefit maternal and child healthcare, emergency response, and specialized treatments, ensuring that more people in Negele and surrounding areas have access to quality medical services.
Commitment to Long-Term Impact
During the high-level meeting, the Managing Director of ANE, Mr. Salihu Sultan, welcomed this initiative and emphasized ANE's commitment to facilitating the project's implementation by engaging stakeholders, mobilizing the community, and coordinating efforts with local health authorities. This collaboration will ensure the efficient utilization of the provided equipment to maximize its impact on healthcare delivery.
Conclusion
The strengthened partnership between Human Bridge and ANE marks a transformative step in improving healthcare access in Ethiopia. With Dr. Adamu Anley's leadership in securing critical medical equipment and ANE’s strategic implementation role, Negele Borena General Hospital will be better equipped to handle increasing patient demands and deliver life-saving medical services.
Furthermore, ANE and Human Bridge have agreed to continue their collaboration on future healthcare initiatives, reinforcing their shared commitment to sustainable impact in Ethiopia.
