Multi-sectoral environmental health and Hygiene: where each service is provided in Ethiopia, and who pays
28 services in the Multi-sectoral environmental health and Hygiene programme of Ethiopia’s Essential Health Services Package, of which 23 are free of charge. A tick means that level of facility is expected to provide the service.
Source: Essential Health Services Package of Ethiopia (November 2019), Annex II, Table 19 — Ministry of Health of Ethiopia. These are the services the package says should be available at each level of the public health system, and how they are paid for. Availability at a particular facility can differ and fees change: confirm before you travel. BinaSmart is an information service, not a medical provider.
