Years of conflict in Ethiopia have devastated health systems across Oromia, Amhara, Tigray, and Benishangul gumuz leaving women and children in rural and internally displaced communities without access to lifesaving care. This project will deploy mobile health clinics to reach 250,000+ vulnerable individuals, with a focus on maternal, newborn, and child health, as well as psychosocial support, basic treatments, and reproductive services.
