CMHS Signs MOU with Bushulo Mother and Child Health Specialty Center

Hawassa University College of Medicine and Health Sciences has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bushulo Mother and Child Health Specialty Center to collaborate in various areas of healthcare and medical services.

Dr. Fitsum Woldgebriel, Chief Executive Officer of the College, expressed his appreciation for the high-quality maternal and child health services provided by Bushulo Center. He particularly highlighted the competence of the nurses and midwives, as well as the center's well-developed and comprehensive infrastructure and facilities.

Purpose of the Agreement

The main objective of the agreement is to establish collaboration between Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital and Bushulo Mother and Child Health Specialty Center in areas including capacity building, research and innovation, joint studies and new discoveries, and efficient patient referrals. Particular emphasis will be given to maternal intensive care services and the modernization of healthcare services through technology, including the kidney dialysis service that will commence soon.

Dr. Bereket Yohannes, Medical Director of Bushulo Mother and Child Health Center, stated that the center's new five-year strategic plan focuses on collaborative work in pediatrics, cardiology, and obstetrics and gynecology/fetal medicine.

Building Toward a Center of Excellence:

Capacity building and specialist training programs
Joint research, innovation, and new discoveries
Efficient and coordinated patient referrals
Focus on pediatrics, cardiology, and obstetrics/gynecology
Upcoming kidney dialysis service
Strengthening specialist capacity toward a "Center of Excellence"

He further explained that although the center has an ambition to become a "Center of Excellence," it currently faces a shortage of highly qualified specialists. He therefore emphasized the need for support from Hawassa University's College of Medicine and Health Sciences to address the shortage of specialists and strengthen the center's capacity to provide specialized healthcare services.
