Ethiopian Medical Women’s Association 788 views

The Ethiopian Medical Women’s Association (EMeWA) is a legally registered organization under CSO, license number 3809 that envisions a culture in which Ethiopian women and those in medicine enjoy equal rights and participation in reimagined power and decision making structure.

The Ethiopian Medical Women Association is a registered professional association for female physicians working all around the country. The association is committed to supporting current and future underrepresented women in medicine, and increasing the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent and socially conscious physicians who address the needs of undeserved communities particularly that of women and young girls.

Efforts to increase the fair distribution of benefits and responsibilities between women and men are improving these days in the health sector. Women should not only have equal access and opportunity, but should be given the means to utilize these opportunities.

The Ethiopian Medical Women’s Association puts a great emphasis on empowering women in medicine, and women in general by setting a specific theme that focuses on various issues. We believe women in medicine have a lot to offer to the sector and hence need every opportunity to amplify their voices and grab the anchor that put them through.
