Message of condolence

The Ethiopian Nurses Association (ENA) extends its deepest condolences on the unexpected passing of Mr. Alelign Haile, a respected professional nurse at Dilla University Hospital. Mr. Alelign was not only a committed healthcare provider but also served as a Desk Representative for the ENA, demonstrating his dedication to the nursing community in Ethiopia.

Recognized for his expertise as an operating room nurse, Mr. Alelign made significant contributions to patient care and led surgical teams with skill. In his role as Desk Representative, he was instrumental in advocating for nurses' rights and improving the quality of nursing services across the country. His absence is profoundly felt within the nursing community, where he was regarded as a mentor and an inspiration.

During this time of sorrow, the ENA team stands in solidarity with Mr. Alelign's family and colleagues, honoring his invaluable contributions to nursing and the lasting impact he had on those around him. A devoted father of three, he leaves behind a legacy of love and care for his family.

The association encourages its members to remember Mr. Alelign's dedication and to strive for excellence in their own practices, inspired by his remarkable example.

GIZ_Ethiopia and ENA Celebrate the Success of STEP III Project Closure Ceremony

Addis Ababa, October 22, 2024 – GIZ Ethiopia, in partnership with the Ethiopian Nurses Association (ENA), successfully celebrated the closure of the Sustainable Training and Education Programmed (STEP III) project, a year-long initiative focused on Strengthening Nursing Workforce Training in Ethiopia.

The closure ceremony, held at the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa, was attended by key figures including Mr. Christiano from GIZ, Mr. Assiged from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Mr. Meseret from ENA.

The event also saw participation from various healthcare providers and key stakeholders in Ethiopia’s healthcare system.

During the past year, the STEP III project made significant strides in improving nursing education and training through the provision of preceptorship training. This program enabled senior nurses to mentor and support newly graduated nurses, helping bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical clinical skills. Additionally, the project successfully developed and accredited nursing courses and logbooks, essential tools for standardizing nursing education and tracking professional development.

In recognition of ENA’s outstanding role in implementing the project, GIZ Ethiopia presented a certificate of appreciation during the ceremony. Representatives from both organizations commended the positive outcomes of the initiative and reiterated their commitment to furthering efforts to enhance the capacity of Ethiopia’s nursing workforce.

The STEP III project has laid a solid foundation for advancing nursing education and improving healthcare delivery, with lasting impacts anticipated across Ethiopia's health sector.
