We are excited to share the details of an impactful one-day advocacy program on the "Roles and Contribution of Respiratory Therapy in Ethiopia." This program, organized in collaboration with SPHMMC (Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College), the Clinton Health Access Initiative, and the Ethiopian Society of Emergency Professionals (ESEP), was held at the prestigious Elily International Hotel.

The advocacy program brought together distinguished guests from various esteemed institutions, including the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), SPHMMC, Addis Ababa University, Jepiego, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), the Ethiopian Society of Emergency Professionals (ESEP), the Ethiopian Thoracic Society (ETS), and the Texas Respiratory Care Foundation.

The primary focus of the program was to highlight the indelible roles and contributions of Respiratory Therapists (RTs) in providing quality healthcare services in Ethiopia. RTs play a vital role in managing respiratory conditions, ensuring patient care, and promoting overall well-being. This event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of their profession and shed light on their significant contributions to the healthcare system.

During the program, insightful discussions took place on the future directions of the respiratory therapy career path in Ethiopia. The participants explored opportunities for professional growth, skill enhancement, and the expansion of the scope of practice for RTs. By recognizing the potential of this profession, we can pave the way for its further development and ensure that RTs continue to provide exceptional care to patients across the country.

The collaboration between SPHMMC, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, and ESEP in organizing this advocacy program is a representation of their commitment to enhancing the quality of healthcare services in Ethiopia. SPHMMC, in particular, is dedicated to improving healthcare standards and has initiated significant programs that contribute to the overall development of the sector.

We extend our gratitude to all the distinguished guests, participants, and organizations who supported this program. Together, we can work towards a brighter future for respiratory therapy in Ethiopia, fostering a healthcare system that prioritizes excellence, innovation, and compassionate patient care.

Stay tuned for more updates on the progress and future initiatives aimed at advancing the respiratory therapy profession and promoting quality healthcare services in Ethiopia.
