Engaging with the community is a cornerstone of our mission. Students and faculty are encouraged to participate in health outreach programs and initiatives that enhance public health awareness and service delivery.
4. Clinical Services
Through our Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, we provide comprehensive and advanced healthcare services to more than 20 million people in Sidama and neighboring regions every year.
