Addis Ababa Old Piazza, 3 self-guided tours
No full textThis booklet takes you through streets where Addis Ababa's early history is most apparent in the architecture, in the central neighborhood of Piazza also known as Arada. Imposing or modest, sometimes dilapidated, residences and commercial buildings are reminiscent of the making of the urban fabric from the creation of Addis Ababa in the late 1880s to the Italian downtown re-de- sign in 1937-41. Born from the gebbi, the palace of Emperor Menelik II, the city grew quickly. The almost empty site in the 1910s saw several construction booms to accommodate nearly 100,000 inhabitants in 1935. Concrete structures, glass towers, and high-rise shopping centers are features of the city’s recent development. Before the 1940s, construction techniques involved mainly the use of stone, mud and lime, corrugated-iron sheets, wood, and bricks. Few residences had more than one story. What made early Addis Ababa “urban” and “modern” were the metal roofs, the adoption of the rectangular shape villa, and foreign architectural influences. These multiple influences created styles unique to the city of Addis Ababa

Family medicine has recently been recognized through national policy as one potential contributor in addressing Ethiopia's health care challenges. Family medicine is a new specialty in Ethiopia emerging in the context of family medicine development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Addis Ababa University family medicine residency program started in 2013 and is the first and the only family medicine program in the country as of March 2016. Stakeholders on the ground feel that family medicine is off to a good start and have great enthusiasm and optimism for its success. While the Ministry of Health has a vision for the development of family medicine and a plan for rapid upscaling of family medicine across the country, significant challenges remain. Continuing discussion about the potential roles of family medicine specialists in Ethiopia and policy-level strategic planning to place family medicine at the core of primary health care delivery in the country is needed. In addition, the health care-tier system needs to be restructured to include the family medicine specialists along with appropriately equipped health care facilities for training and practice. Key stakeholders are optimistic that family medicine expansion can be successful in Ethiopia through a coordinated effort by the Ministry of Health and collaboration between institutions within the country, other Sub-Saharan African countries, and international partners supportive of establishing family medicine in Ethiopia.
