Message from the Bureau Head

It is my honor to serve the people of Harari as Head of the Regional Health Bureau. With a background in medicine, surgery, and a Master of Public Health in Health Service Management, I have dedicated my career to advancing both clinical excellence and strong health system leadership.

Our vision is to build a resilient, equitable, and patient‑centered health system that meets the needs of every citizen. Over the past years, we have expanded hospitals and health posts, introduced advanced surgical and specialty services, and strengthened our primary healthcare programs. We have also embraced digital transformation, implementing electronic medical records and modernizing community‑based health insurance to ensure efficiency, transparency, and accountability.

Public health challenges such as M‑Pox, malaria, measles, and polio have tested our system, but through coordinated response and community engagement, we have successfully contained outbreaks and safeguarded lives. Beyond institutional reforms, I remain committed to voluntary service — organizing outreach campaigns that have reached more than 135,000 people and supporting vulnerable groups across our region.

Together with our dedicated professionals, partners, and communities, we will continue to innovate, expand access, and strengthen trust in our health system. I invite all stakeholders to join us in this mission to ensure a healthier future for Harari.
