Medical disclaimer

The information on this site is health information, not medical advice.

Every article on the Ethiopia Health Portal is reviewed by a named Ethiopian clinician and grounded in WHO and MoH guidelines. However, none of it replaces personal medical advice from a health worker who knows you.

If you are unwell, see a health worker. In an emergency, go to the nearest health post or hospital.

Limitations

• Content is reviewed at least every 24 months, but medical knowledge changes. Always confirm major decisions with a current clinician.
• We describe standard first-line treatments in Ethiopia. Your health worker may recommend different treatment based on your specific situation.
• Dosages and dosing intervals may vary. Follow what the health worker who examines you tells you, not what you read here.
• We do not accept liability for decisions made based on this content.

Reporting concerns

If you believe an article contains medically inaccurate or unsafe information, please report it via the Medical Inaccuracy issue template on GitHub or the "Was this page useful?" form on the article. Reports are triaged same-day by our on-call clinical reviewer.
