๐ซงToday the USA donated 1.6 billion USD to Ethiopia for the health sector for the next 5 years.
๐ซงThat is 320 million USD per year.
๐ซงAt the current exchange rate, this equals ~49.6 billion birr every year.
For comparison:
๐ซงEthiopiaโs total national budget this year: ~1.9 trillion birr.
Health sector allocation by the government is: ~60 billion birr.
๐ซงThis means external health funding (USA alone) covers almost equal to what the government allocates to health annually.
Since this money is specifically for health:
It should stay within the health sector. It should be seen on the ground. It should improve patient care, health workersโ conditions.
With numbers this big, the expectation is simple: real impact, real accountability, in the health system!

What is happening with some of our doctors and traditional healers? ๐
The focus shifted away from the Ministry of Health to traditional healers.๐
Interestingly, many of the physicians who were silent during our movement are now very vocal ๐ซข, apparently because of the danger on their income.

Upgrade your self, the new generation, Generation Z is now in Ethiopian health system.
Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to people born roughly between 1997 and 2012.
They grew up with the internet, smartphones, and social media as normal life, they are not new to tech.
Theyโre fast at finding information, but also quick to spot what feels fake or forced advert.
They care a lot about identity, mental health, fairness, and real-world impact.
They prefer short, visual, straight-to-the-point content.
Many are practical and cautious, shaped by things like economic instability.
Our Medical education looks the same at first glance. White coats. Morning reports. Long lectures. Seniors teaching the way they were taught.
Nothing seems urgent.Until you notice something quietly changing.
Students are no longer memorizing to survive exams alone. They are cross-checking. Comparing. Asking uncomfortable questions. They pull out phones in the ward not to escape but to confirm whether what theyโre told still holds up.
And hereโs the turn, Generation Z is already inside the system. And the system hasnโt caught up.
They are being examined on outdated notes while managing patients in a world of evolving guidelines. They are told โdonโt questionโ in hospitals where silence has cost lives.
They are labeled difficult (Resistant) for asking "why" in a country where wrong assumptions have heavy consequences.
This isnโt a discipline (attitude) issue. Itโs a mismatch of eras.
Gen Z doesnโt reject medicine. They reject unquestioned medicine.
Gen z donโt disrespect seniors. They resist empty authority / hierarchy .
So the real question is no longer about students or health professionals adapting to the system. Itโs whether instructors or health leaders are willing to adapt to reality.
Because medicine in Ethiopia doesnโt need louder commands. It needs mentors and leaders who teach thinking, not fear.
Generation Z is not waiting. Theyโre already here. And medicine will either grow with them or be left explaining itself to the next preventable loss.

When TikTok Medicine Replaces Medical Training (and Some แแแแ แฅ แซแแฃแธแ Gen Z Doctors Missing the Point)
I first saw a herbalist (?chemistry teacher) on TikTok with 100k followers telling patients with diabetes and hypertension to stop their meds and rely on his special tea. That was worrying, but not surprising. What shocked me more was seeing our own former students, new GPs with no MSc in nutrition background, doing the same thing.
These are doctors trained by internists and endocrinology subspecialists, who have seen patients end up with DKA, Stroke and death from uncontrolled chronic medical illnesses. So where did we fail? And where is the responsibility of the Ethiopian society of internal medicine, FMOH and its legal bodies? Why they kept silent regarding the misinformations?
Medical Tiktok Contents need rule ASAP, otherwise everything will be out of control soon.

The research ladder ๐
It is not about traditional vs modern medicine. Itโs about evidence.
Any treatment herbal or pharmaceutical must be judged by the same research ladder. The higher the evidence, the safer the recommendation.

Why Medicine Does Not Run on Testimony Alone: Understanding the Research Ladder
Every few years, a familiar pattern repeats itself. A patient says, โI stopped my medication and Iโm fine.โ A practitioner or herbalist says, โIโve seen many patients improve without drugs.โ Slowly, testimony starts to sound like truth. And truth starts to replace science.
This is exactly why medicine built a research hierarchy.
At the bottom of this hierarchy are expert opinions, editorials, and individual testimonies. They are not useless but they are weak. They are subjective, uncontrolled, and vulnerable to bias. They answer the question โWhat happened to me?โ not โWhat will happen to most patients?โ
Above that come case reports and case series. These describe patterns, rare events, or unexpected outcomes. They are valuable for learning and hypothesis generation but they still cannot guide treatment decisions for the general population.
Then we reach case-control and cohort studies, where comparison groups exist, outcomes are measured, and risks begin to make sense in real numbers. These studies start answering โIs this association real?โ
Higher still are randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Here, chance not belief decides who gets what. Confounders are minimized. Cause and effect become clearer. This is where treatment recommendations begin to stand on solid ground.
At the top sit systematic reviews and meta-analyses, where multiple high-quality studies are critically assessed together. This is the strongest form of evidence we have for deciding how to treat patients safely.
Now here is the key point many miss:
Stopping a chronic medication is not harmless.It is an intervention. Discontinuing antihypertensives, antidiabetics, antiepileptics, cardiac drugs, or psychiatric medications can lead to silent disease progression, rebound effects, acute events, or irreversible damage. Any recommendation with that level of risk must be supported by high-level evidence not stories, not testimonials, not personal confidence.
This does not mean medications are lifelong by default. De-prescribing is a real and important part of modern medicine. But it follows rules:
๐ง Correct diagnosis
๐ง Clear clinical targets achieved
๐ง Evidence that stopping is safe for that condition
๐ง Gradual withdrawal
๐ง Close monitoring
What is dangerous is replacing this process with belief. When low-quality evidence is presented as medical advice, patients are unknowingly enrolled into uncontrolled experiments without consent, without follow-up, and without accountability.
Medicine progresses not by rejecting stories, but by testing them.
Testimony asks โDid it work for me?โ
Science asks โDoes it work, for whom, at what cost, and how safely?โ
