- Exterior view: close-up of the sign for the facility. Two people are walking around the corner; they are carrying umbrellas for protection from the sun. Verso: WHO/8933. Ethopia-training. Anatomy of a project. Ethiopia 9 is the prosaic name of a scheme to overcome in Ethiopia what is no doubt the greatest obstacle to health progress in the world today: the shortage of health workers. Ethiopia 9 is centered on Gondar, capital of Begemedir Province, near Lake Tana, in north-west Ethiopia. Its aims are: a) to provide a centre for training auxiliary personnel; b) to organize a model health service; c) to investigate local health conditions; d) to extend health services to the whole country. Ethiopia 9 came into being in 1952, a joint activity of the Ethopian Govenment, UNICEF, WHO, and the U.S. International Co-operation Administration. The Haile Selassie Public Health College and Training Centre graduates each year some 30 health assitants , 30 public health nurses and 30 sanitaruans.
