በውይይታችን መሃል፣ እንደ ቀልድ "አንዳንድ ጊዜ ተቅማጥ ይሰማኛል" ብላ ስትናገር የበሽታዋን መፍቻ ቁልፍ እንደሰጠችኝ አልተረዳችም ነበር። ተጨማሪ ማብራሪያ ስጠይቃትም፣ ከልጅነቷ ጀምሮ የስንዴ ዳቦ በምትመገብበት ጊዜ ሆዷ እንደሚነፋ እና ተቅማጥ እንደሚያስቸጎራት ስትናገር፣ የጥርሷ መሸርሸር የጥርስ ሕመም ምልክት ብቻ እንዳልሆኑ ይልቁንም የውስጣዊ አካል ችግር 'ምስክር' መሆናቸውን ተረዳሁ።

| 3 | Many researchers finance projects with personal resources or minimal institutional support, resulting in limited sample sizes and simplified methodologies. Sustainable national funding is essential to address priority areas such as infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, genomics, digital health, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, and environmental health.
8. Incentives That Reward Quantity Rather Than Quality
Academic evaluation systems frequently emphasize publication numbers instead of scientific impact. Greater recognition should be given to innovation, reproducibility, collaboration, and research that produce meaningful societal benefits.
A Vision for Ethiopia
Imagine universities connected through vibrant national research networks, equipped with modern laboratories and supported by sustainable funding. Imagine early-career researchers receiving mentorship, leading innovative projects, and collaborating internationally. Imagine hospitals routinely implementing locally generated evidence, and policymakers relying on Ethiopian research to guide national decisions. Such a future is achievable through deliberate investment, long-term planning, and a strong commitment to scientific excellence.
Recommendations
To strengthen Ethiopia's research ecosystem, I respectfully recommend that the Ministries of Health and Education:
Expand and modernize research infrastructure across all regions.
Establish competitive national research funding, particularly for early-career researchers.
Develop structured mentorship and research leadership programs.
Strengthen collaboration among universities, hospitals, government agencies, industry, and international partners.
Invest in advanced laboratories, digital research resources, and access to scientific literature.
Create effective systems for translating research findings into policy and clinical practice.
Reform academic evaluation systems to emphasize research quality, innovation, reproducibility, and societal impact.
Encourage multidisciplinary and multicenter research addressing national priorities.
Support participation in international conferences, scientific exchanges, and collaborative projects.
Develop national platforms for sharing research expertise, infrastructure, and data.
Final Reflection
The future of healthcare, education, and economic development depends on the strength of Ethiopia's research system. Research is not a luxury; it is a strategic investment that drives innovation, improves public health, informs policy, and strengthens national prosperity.
Let us move beyond conducting research solely for academic requirements. Let us build a research culture that generates solutions, influences policy, advances science, and improves the lives of our people.
The next groundbreaking discovery may already exist in the mind of a young Ethiopian researcher. Our responsibility is to provide the environment, resources, and opportunities that allow that idea to flourish.
Respectfully,

| 4 | An Open Letter to the Ministries of Health and Education
"Research is the art of turning observations into evidence and evidence into solutions." Unknown
Dear Honorable Leaders of the Ministries of Health and Education,
Science begins with curiosity. Every technology, medicine, and public health intervention that benefits humanity today started as an idea pursued through research. The discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming is a classic example. Although chance played a role, it was scientific curiosity, careful observation, and rigorous experimentation that transformed an unexpected finding into one of the greatest medical breakthroughs in history. This reminds us that innovation flourishes where strong research systems exist.
Ethiopia has made encouraging progress in expanding higher education and research activities. Universities and research institutions now produce thousands of undergraduate projects, master's thesis, doctoral dissertations, and scientific publications each year. However, much of this research remains confined to libraries or academic journals, with limited influence on public policy, healthcare, innovation, or national development.
Research should not merely fulfill graduation requirements or academic promotion criteria. Its true purpose is to generate knowledge that solves real-world problems, informs evidence-based policymaking, strengthens healthcare systems, advances technology, and contributes to sustainable national development. Therefore, our concern should not only be the quantity of research produced but also its quality, originality, relevance, and societal impact.
Key Challenges
1. Limited Research Infrastructure
Many researchers lack access to modern laboratories, advanced equipment, reliable internet, computational resources, and scientific literature. Young investigators often possess innovative ideas but lack the facilities needed to test them, preventing promising research from progressing beyond the proposal stage.
2. Insufficient Specialized Research Institutes
Although Ethiopia has research institutions, they cannot adequately serve the growing scientific community. More specialized centers in fields such as genomics, biotechnology, molecular biology, epidemiology, pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and translational medicine are needed to address national priorities effectively.
3. Inadequate Training for Early-Career Researchers
Research methodology courses alone are insufficient. Young scientists need practical training in scientific writing, research ethics, and grant proposal development, advanced biostatistics, data management, bioinformatics, laboratory techniques, clinical trials, systematic reviews, research leadership, intellectual property, and science communication. These competencies are essential for producing high-quality research and competing internationally.
4. Limited Opportunities for Young Researchers
Early-career researchers often contribute only to data collection while being excluded from study design, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and leadership roles. A healthy research culture should recognize competence, creativity, and innovation regardless of seniority, allowing young researchers to develop into future research leaders.
5. Weak Collaboration and Mentorship
Many researchers work in isolation with limited mentorship or collaboration across institutions. Strong national research networks and structured mentorship programs would improve research quality, encourage multidisciplinary studies, and strengthen grant competitiveness.
6. Weak Translation of Research into Policy
Excellent research often fails to influence healthcare guidelines, educational reforms, or government policy. Strengthening mechanisms that connect researchers with policymakers would ensure locally generated evidence contributes directly to national decision-making.

አእምሮ ካለ አለ ነው። ወደ ግራ ከተመለከተ፣ ወደ ቀኝ ለመመለስ ብዙ ውጣ ውረዶችን ይጠይቃል። ሰዎች የነርቭ ሕመሞችንና የአእምሮ ሕመሞችን የሚረዱበት መንገድ ግራ እስከሚያጋባን ድረስ የተወሳሰበና ልዩ አረዳድ ያለበት ነው። ይህ አረዳድ ሕመሙን ወደ ሌላ ጫፍ ይወስደዋል፤ ነገሮችንም ይበልጥ ያወሳስባቸዋል።
ወጣት እንስት ናት። ተራዋ ደርሶ ገባች። ከአቅም በላይ የሆነ ሽቶ ተቀብታ ከፊቴ ተቀመጠች።
«ለሰላምታም ጊዜ የለኝም።» አለችኝ።

«ዶክተር፣ የሰውነቴ ጠረን አሳቅቆኛል። አሁን እንኳ ወረፋ ስጠብቅ ብዙ ሰው ከእኔ አጠገብ ሲያልፍ አፍንጫውን እየያዘ ነበር። ለሌላ ሰው ብቻ ሳይሆን ለእኔም ለራሴ ሽታው አሰልችቶኛል።» እያለች በእንባና በመከፋት ታሪኳን መተረክ ጀመረች።
አሁን ገባኝ፤ ለምን ያን ያህል ሽቶ ተቀብታ እንደመጣች። አእምሮዋ ሽታዋን ገልብጦ አንብቦታል። ይህ በፈቃዷ ሳይሆን በሕመሟ የተነሳ ነው። አእምሮ ሲታመም መገለጫዎቹ ብዙ ናቸው። የዚች ወጣት ሕመም ከሽታ ጋር የተያያዘ የሥነ አእምሮ ችግር ነው። አእምሮዋ «ከልክ በላይ መጥፎ ሽታ እያሸተትኩ ነው» ብሎ ያምናል፤ እሷም የአእምሮዋን ትእዛዝ ትቀበላለች።
«ሽታው እጅግ መጥፎ ነው። ከሽንት ቤት እንደሚወጣ ሽታ ነው፣ ዶክተር የእኔ ሰውነት ጠረን፤ አንተም እየሸተትከው ነው፤ አይደል?» እያለች የሚሰማትን ትናገራለች። «ሥራ አቆምኩ፤ ውሎዬ ሻወር መውሰድና ሽቶ መቀባት ሆኗል።» ተስፋ በቆረጠ አንደበቷ አለች።

እናቷ ችግሩ አእምሮ ላይ እንደሆነ ተረድተውታል። ግን ደ'ሞ በሰው ልጅ የሚታከምም አልመሰላቸውም። «ይኸው ቆዳዋ በመታጠብ ብዛት እየተጎዳ ነው።» ብለው እንባቸው ዱብ ዱብ ማለት ጀመረ።

«አንዴ ስማኝ።» አለችኝ።
«እሺ፣» ብዬ ለመስማት ተዘጋጀሁ።
«አፍንጫዬ እንዳያሸት ድፈንልኝ።» አለችኝ።
በእሷ አረዳድ ወደ ሕክምና የመጣችው ከነመፍትሔው ነው። ይህን ሁሉ የምታደርገው የአእምሮ ጤናዋ ስለተጎዳ ነው። ታካሚዬ ሕክምና ጀምራለች። አንዳንድ ህመሞች እንኳን ለታካሚና ባለሙያ ላልሆነ ይቅርና ለባለሙያም ግር የሚያሰኙ ናቸው። የገዛ ጠረንን እንደ መጥፎ ቆጥሮ መጥላት፣ መሸማቀቅና ተገቢ ያልሆነ አሰልቺ ልምድ ውስጥ መግባትና ከየትኛውም ማህበራዊ ተሳትፎ እራስን ማግለል የዚች ታካሚ ህመም መገለጫዎች ናቸው።

| 7 | Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and the Current Global Situation
Global Burden of AMR
AMR is one of the world's most serious public health threats. According to the World Health Organization:
• Drug-resistant infections contribute to millions of deaths worldwide each year.
• Common infections such as urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and surgical-site infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat.
• AMR threatens the safety of routine surgeries, cancer chemotherapy, organ transplantation, and intensive care medicine.
Current Global Situation (2025–2026)
The latest WHO surveillance data show that:
• Data from over 100 countries indicate that approximately 1 in 6 laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections in 2023 was resistant to standard antibiotic treatment.
• Antibiotic resistance increased in more than 40% of the pathogen–antibiotic combinations monitored between 2018 and 2023.
• The highest resistance rates occur in parts of South-East Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Africa.
• Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are showing increasing resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, leaving fewer effective treatment options.
Major Causes of AMR
• Overuse and misuse of antibiotics in humans.
• Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing.
• Patients not completing prescribed antibiotic courses.
• Self-medication without medical advice.
• Excessive antibiotic use in livestock and agriculture.
• Poor infection prevention and control in healthcare settings.
• Inadequate sanitation and hygiene.
• Weak laboratory surveillance systems.
AMR has major consequences:
• Increased illness and mortality.
• Longer hospital stays.
• Higher healthcare costs.
• Failure of standard treatments.
• Increased spread of resistant microorganisms.
• Reduced effectiveness of life-saving medical procedures.

| 8 | From Resilience to Resolution: My Path to Surgery
My journey toward becoming a surgeon is not merely a path of academic pursuit; it is a testament to perseverance in the face of extraordinary adversity.
The Spark of Purpose
The foundation of my career was laid during a rotation in maxillofacial surgery. From the moment I stepped into the operating theater, I felt an undeniable connection to the precision, complexity, and life-changing impact of the specialty. I knew then that this was my calling. However, the path to fulfilling this ambition would be far from linear.
Navigating Unprecedented Obstacles
My commitment was tested almost immediately, as my residency training was delayed by a full year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the challenges proved to be more than just a logistical hurdle.
The subsequent outbreak of war transformed my learning environment into an extreme arena of clinical practice.
Working amidst the conflict meant:
- Severe Resource Scarcity: Operating with limited equipment, minimal medical supplies, and a chronic shortage of essential manpower.
- The Burden of Need: Facing an overwhelming influx of patients, which necessitated long hours, profound sacrifice, and countless sleepless nights.
- Intellectual Persistence: Despite the lack of electricity and internet connectivity, I remained dedicated to my academic growth, preparing complex seminars by unconventional means to ensure my clinical knowledge never stagnated.
The Road Ahead
These experiences have not only shaped my surgical skills but have also forged my character. Navigating systemic collapse has taught me how to provide high-quality care under extreme pressure, how to lead with limited resources, and how to stay solid when the world feels uncertain.
I am now more certain than ever that my future belongs in the operating room, where I can turn my passion for surgery into a lifelong commitment to healing those who need it.
Acknowledgments
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my mentors—Dr. Melese Tabor, Dr. Solomon Handiso, Dr. Hagos Shishay, and Dr. Kibrom Getachew—for their unwavering dedication to teaching me the surgical craft.
Their guidance, patience, and excellence have been the cornerstone of my professional development, and I am profoundly honored to have trained under their supervision.

| 12 | Statement from Tigray Medical Association
Subject: Arbitrary Arrest of Dr. Yemane Gebremariam, CED of Adigrat Comprehensive Specialized Hospital
The Tigray Medical Association (TMA) strongly condemns the arbitrary arrest of Dr. Yemane Gebremariam, a respected pediatrician, Chief Executive Director of Adigrat Comprehensive Specialized Hospital.
Dr. Yemane is well known across Tigray's medical and academic community for his leadership in healthcare delivery and medical education. He is also a former Executive Board member and, more recently, an Advisory Board member of the Tigray Medical Association.
According to information received from Association members in Adigrat town, Dr. Yemane was arrested while traveling to Addis Ababa to attend the MedEd Africa professional education event. No lawful justification or due process has been communicated to the Association, his colleagues, or his family.
This arrest is a serious violation of the rights of medical professionals to move and associate freely and to engage in legitimate scientific and educational activity without harassment. It directly undermines two institutions critical to Tigray's recovery: a hospital serving a large and vulnerable population, and an academic center training the region's future health workforce.
It also sends a chilling signal to healthcare leaders and educators, discouraging the professional engagement essential to rebuilding a resilient health system.
The Tigray Medical Association calls for:
1. The immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Yemane Gebremariam.
2. Full transparency on the grounds for his detention, with due process consistent with legal standards.
3. Respect for the neutrality and safety of healthcare and academic medical leaders.
4. Assurance that no medical professional will face arrest or harassment for attending conferences or continuing education.
TMA appeals to authorities, human rights bodies, medical associations, and health partners to act to secure Dr. Yemane's release and to protect every health professional's right to practice, teach, and travel free from arbitrary detention.

ለመሆኑ ይህ የውስጥ ምስቅልቅል እንዴት ይፈጠራል?
ምስጢሩ ያለው በአካላችንና በአእምሯችን በሚደረገው ድብቅ ግንኙነት ውስጥ ነው። በወር አበባ ዑደት ወቅት በሰውነት ውስጥ የሚፈጠረው የተፈጥሮ ሆርሞኖች መለዋወጥ፣ በአንጎል ውስጥ ያለውንና የደስታ፣ የሰላም እንዲሁም የስሜት መረጋጋትን የሚቆጣጠረውን ሴሮቶኒን (Serotonin) የተባለ የነርቭ አስተላላፊ ኬሚካል በአሉታዊ መልኩ ያናጋዋል። ይህ የኬሚካል መዛባት ሴቶች ላይ ከቁጥጥር ውጪ የሆነ የሐዘን ስሜት፣ ከባድ ጭንቀት፣ ተስፋ መቁረጥ እና ከፍተኛ የአካል ድካም ይበረታባቸዋል። በአጭሩ፣
2. በሽታው መኖሩን እንዴት እናውቃለን?
በአሜሪካ የስነ-አእምሮ (DSM-5 TR) መመሪያ መሠረት፣ አንዲት ሴት PMDD አለባት ለመባል ቢያንስ 5 ምልክቶች ሊኖሯት ይገባል። ምልክቶቹ የወር አበባ ከመምጣቱ 1 ሳምንት ቀደም ብለው መታየት አለባቸው፣ የወር አበባ ከጀመረ በኋላ ደግሞ መጥፋት ወይም በጣም መቀነስ አለባቸው።
ዋና ዋናዎቹ የስነ-ልቦና ምልክቶች (ቢያንስ አንዱ መገኘት አለበት)፦
• ከፍተኛ የስሜት መለዋወጥ (ድንገት ማልቀስ፣ በቀላሉ መናደድ)
• ከባድ መበሳጨት፣ ቁጣ እና ከሰዎች ጋር መጣላት
• ጥልቅ የሀዘን ስሜት፣ የተስፋ መቁረጥ ወይም ራስን ዝቅ አድርጎ ማየት
• ከፍተኛ ጭንቀት፣ መወጠር ወይም መረበሽ
ተጨማሪ ምልክቶች፦
• በተለመዱ እንቅስቃሴዎች (ሥራ፣ የትርፍ ጊዜ) ላይ ፍላጎት ማጣት

| 15 | The lesson is not that agriculture was a mistake. Civilization, public health, sanitation, vaccines, and modern medicine have transformed human survival. Rather, the lesson is that our biology was shaped over hundreds of thousands of years under nutritional and mechanical conditions that differ substantially from those of the modern world. Ancient skeletons remind us that understanding evolutionary biology is not merely an academic exercise—it is essential for understanding the origins of many chronic diseases that dominate clinical practice today.

| 16 | How the Agricultural Transition Reshaped the Human Skeleton, Jaw, and Teeth
If an orthopedic surgeon, dentist, and anthropologist could travel back 20,000 years to examine healthy hunter-gatherers, they would likely notice recurring anatomical features: broad jaws, large dental arches, well-aligned teeth, robust skeletons, prominent muscle attachment sites, and relatively little dental caries compared with many later agricultural populations.
Then, as they moved forward to the first farming societies, they would begin to observe a gradual but important biological shift.
The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture approximately 10,000–12,000 years ago represents one of the most profound natural experiments in human biology. While agriculture enabled permanent settlements, population growth, and the rise of civilization, archaeological and bioanthropological evidence suggests that this dietary transition was accompanied in many populations by reduced average stature, decreased skeletal robustness, increased dental caries, more enamel hypoplasia, and other markers of nutritional and physiological stress.
For more than 95% of human evolutionary history, humans consumed diverse diets composed of animal-source foods, fish, eggs, tubers, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other wild foods that were generally nutrient-dense and mechanically demanding to chew.
Early agricultural societies, by contrast, became increasingly dependent on a smaller number of cereal staples. Although these foods provided reliable calories, they often reduced dietary diversity and altered the nutritional composition of the human diet. At the same time, denser populations, infectious diseases, and changing living conditions also contributed to health outcomes, reminding us that this transition was multifactorial rather than driven by a single dietary component.
The human face tells a similar story. Craniofacial development is shaped by both genetics and function. Diets requiring vigorous mastication stimulate normal growth of the facial skeleton and dental arches, whereas the softer diets characteristic of many modern societies provide substantially less mechanical loading during childhood. Together with genetic influences, this likely contributes to narrower jaws, dental crowding, and impacted third molars that are increasingly familiar to modern clinicians.
Perhaps nowhere is this transition more striking than in the teeth. Hunter-gatherers frequently exhibited significant tooth wear but relatively low rates of dental caries in many populations.
Following the adoption of agriculture—and especially with the later introduction of refined flour and sugar—the prevalence of dental decay increased substantially. This observation is biologically plausible, as oral bacteria metabolize fermentable carbohydrates into acids that demineralize enamel, making frequent carbohydrate exposure a major driver of caries development.
Today, despite extraordinary advances in restorative dentistry, dental caries remains one of the world’s most prevalent chronic diseases. This paradox raises an important question for modern medicine: have we become increasingly effective at treating the consequences while simultaneously creating an environment that promotes the disease?
The same evolutionary perspective may extend beyond oral health. The modern nutritional environment—characterized by refined carbohydrates, ultra-processed foods, and reduced dietary nutrient density—has emerged alongside epidemics of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Although these disorders are influenced by genetics, physical activity, socioeconomic factors, and longevity, nutrition remains one of their most important modifiable determinants. | 1 |

| 18 | The Official "Thank You" Post: A VICTORY FOR JUSTICE AND MEDICAL SOLIDARITY!
Dear Hakim Community, the Oromia Physicians Association (OPA), and all fellow health professionals,
Today is a day of immense relief, joy, and profound gratitude. I am overjoyed to celebrate that our colleagues—the Oromia medical duty team who were unjustly detained for over a year—have finally been released and reunited with their families! 🕊️🩺
I want to express my deepest and most sincere thanks to the Hakim page administration and its entire community. When our colleagues were suffering in the shadows, you refused to look away. You amplified their story, defended their clinical integrity, and helped the nation understand that maternal tragedies caused by empty blood banks and blocked roads are a systemic problem—not medical crimes. You were our shield.
Post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1C5ToH9iWZ/
To the OPA, the dedicated legal teams, and every single individual who shared a post, spoke up in a meeting, or kept these health workers in their prayers: Thank you. This release is proof of what happens when the Ethiopian medical fraternity stands completely united. We protected our own, and in doing so, we protected the dignity of the entire healthcare profession.
Welcome home to our heroes. Let us use this momentum to continue advocating for safe, resourced, and protected working environments for every healthcare provider across Ethiopia.
"Medicine is not a crime. Unity is our strength."
With deepest respect and gratitude,
Dr. Shimelis Tesfaye: MD, OB/GYN

| 19 | I Am Not the Only Expert — I Am One of the Important Experts
When I began my journey as a pediatric physiotherapist in Ethiopia, I believed my 45‑minute sessions were the key to changing a child’s prognosis. But reality taught me otherwise.
Children spend most of their lives outside the clinic, surrounded by their families. That’s when I realized: I am not the only expert. I am one of the important experts—together with the caregiver and the child.
At Addis Guzo, one of the pillars of my training was parent coaching. It is an approach I have used in therapy, taught to my students and trainees, and advocated for in every professional space.
Parent coaching shifts the focus from therapist‑centered care to family empowerment. It ensures that therapy continues beyond the clinic, woven into the child’s daily routines and environment.
Building on this foundation, I had the chance to study a very special approach called COPCA—“COPing with and CAring for infants with special needs”—at the University of Zurich. COPCA elevated my understanding of family‑centered therapy to a new level. I saw how coaching caregivers transforms them into active agents of change. When families are empowered, therapy doesn’t stop at the clinic door. It continues 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the child’s natural environment.
After years of training and experience, this whole process has helped me to reshape my role and redefine therapy itself. Therapy is not about prescribing exercises and asking families to “try.” It is about standing side by side with caregivers, practicing together, and building confidence. The living room becomes the therapy room. Playtime becomes rehabilitation. Daily life becomes the foundation for progress.
For Ethiopia, this is more than a personal lesson—it is a national opportunity. With limited access to specialists, high patient loads, and geographic barriers, family‑based therapy is not just an alternative. It is the sustainable path forward. By embracing family‑centered care as our gold standard, we can extend therapy beyond hospital walls, empower caregivers across the country, and unlock the true potential of every child.
So today, I stand proudly and say: I am not the only expert—I am one of the important experts. And together with families, we can transform the future of pediatric physiotherapy in Ethiopia.
