Saint Paul's Hospital Unveils Cutting-Edge Mammography Technology
In a significant stride towards early breast cancer detection and treatment, Saint Paul's Hospital proudly announces the installation of two advanced mammography machines. Generously made possible by our esteemed donors, this groundbreaking technology enables us to identify microscopic tumor cells that were previously invisible, even through ultrasound imaging.
This remarkable capability allows us to detect breast cancer at its nascent stages, empowering us to offer timely interventions such as breast-conserving curative therapies. The early identification of these elusive tumor cells not only improves our diagnostic precision but also enhances our ability to provide proactive and effective treatment.
Our machines system support the functionality like:
Stereotactic Biopsy
• High-quality imaging for accurate detection
• Patient-centered design for comfort and care
• Efficient workflow for faster service
• 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) technology
• Low radiation dose with detailed, three-dimensional images.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our donors whose support has been pivotal in bringing this cutting-edge technology of 120 million ETB worth to our hospital. Their unwavering generosity underscores our shared commitment to advancing healthcare and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
This heartwarming news heralds a new era in breast cancer care at Saint Paul's Hospital. Our newly inaugurated "Breast Cancer Screening Clinic, where early detection and innovative treatments converge to offer hope, healing, and a brighter future for our mothers and sisters battling this disease..

SPHMMC Signs Agreement with FDRE Technical and Vocational Training Institute to Launch Biomedical Technology Degree Program
St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the FDRE Technical and Vocational Training Institute to launch the country’s first Bachelor’s Degree (Level 6) Program in Biomedical Technology.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Muluken Tesfaye, Provost of SPHMMC, and Dr. Biruk Kedir, Director General of the FDRE Technical and Vocational Training Institute.
Both institutions expressed their shared commitment to strengthening Ethiopia’s healthcare workforce through collaborative academic programs that promote innovation, sustainability, and self-reliance in medical technology.
The new program aims to address the critical shortage of biomedical technologists across Ethiopia’s healthcare system. These professionals play an essential role in the maintenance, calibration, and management of medical equipment—an area of growing importance as hospitals expand their services and adopt advanced technologies.
In addition to providing technical and practical training, the program will encourage students to innovate and contribute to the local development and production of medical instruments and equipment, fostering homegrown solutions to the nation’s healthcare needs.

SPHMMC Holds Workshop to Improve Research Ethics
St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) held a two-day workshop to check and approve its new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for research ethics.
The workshop was organized by the Institutional Research Ethics Review Committee (IRERC) to make sure the College’s research follows both Ethiopian and international standards.
Members of the committee, researchers, department heads, and invited experts worked together to review and improve the SOPs. The new document will help make the research review process clear, fair, and strong in ethics.
Dr. Ewenat Gebrehanna (PhD), Research and Community Service Corporate Director, said the new SOPs are important to keep research at SPHMMC honest, high-quality, and ready for international accreditation such as SIDCER.
At the end of the workshop, participants agreed to finalize and use the new SOPs.
This marks an important step in SPHMMC’s effort to support ethical and responsible research.
