The Ethio-American Doctors Group and the Global Ethiopian Medical Enterprise have agreed to merge their efforts to pursue their common goal of building and establishing a Center of Excellence Hospital in Addis Ababa.

Collectively, the memberships of both organizations include over 250 physicians of Ethiopian origin and this development is expected to encourage other Ethiopian physicians to join. By uniting their intellectual and membership resources, the joint mission to establish a center of excellence hospital should have a tremendous impact on the lives of the people of Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian government, various US agencies, and people and firms in the business community throughout the world, have supported and encouraged both organizations to combine their efforts under a single body to establish a world class hospital in Addis Ababa.

The two companies say they are now looking forward to continuing to recruit and encourage physicians to join the project aimed to lift the healthcare of Ethiopians and people in the region through provision of excellent quality clinical care, high standard medical education and relevant research.

The Ethio-American Doctors Group is a US-based corporation and has members covering 31 different specialties and subspecialties from across the world. The Global Ethiopian Medical Enterprise is a healthcare management company founded by a coalition of multi-specialty Ethiopian Diaspora physicians who practice in the US, Canada, Europe, Ethiopia and other African nations.
