Ethio telecom is spearheading Ethiopia’s digital healthcare transformation through major technological initiatives designed to enhance access, efficiency, and quality of health services across the country, the company’s Enterprise Solutions Chief Officer said. The company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has connected 67 major hospitals to a centralized digital platform as part of a nationwide health data digitalization project, with particular focus on improving services for remote and underserved communities.
The initiative is supported by major network infrastructure expansion, including the deployment of 4G and 5G networks and the strengthening of fixed broadband services. To ensure reliable connectivity in remote areas, the company has installed more than 1,000 solar-powered battery systems to support network stations, enabling uninterrupted data transmission. Leveraging its latecomer advantage, Ethiopia is rapidly integrating artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and modern digital infrastructure to align its healthcare services with global standards.
