St. Paul Hospital to Host Ethiopia’s First-Ever National Spine Treatment Facility.
In a landmark moment for the nation's healthcare system, the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), officially launched the construction of the National Spine Center at St. Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College.
For nearly two decades, JDC has supported Ethiopian patients with severe spinal deformities, often facilitating complex, life-changing surgeries abroad. The new center marks a transformative step—bringing that critical care home. Ethiopian spine surgeons, trained through JDC-supported programs, will lead the center, providing advanced, specialized treatment locally for the first time.
The National Spine Center is expected to serve as strengthening Ethiopia’s healthcare infrastructure and reducing the need for medical travel abroad.
