We are happy to share with you the 2022 Annual Report for Hospice Ethiopia. We are very appreciative of your support and interest in helping grow Hospice Services in Ethiopia. Without the support of many, we would not be able to offer these services to the most vulnerable in our society. Click here for the report:
Today is the BIG GIVE for Hospice Ethiopia. We will be raising money specifically to pay for the development of the palliative care service at one of the largest public hospitals in Ethiopia. The project will target St Paul’s Hospital Oncology and Emergency Departments where palliative care is desperately needed. 50 key personnel will be trained at this large teaching hospital. This follows on from the successful development of an Ethiopian standardised palliative care training course in 2020, developed jointly by HE with the Federal Ministry Of Health (Big Give 2020 project).
If successful it is hoped this project will be repeated in other public hospitals thereby improving palliative care across Ethiopia.
Donations to this project will be matched for 7 days, from 12pm on Tuesday 30th November. So, every pound donated during that period means two pounds for Hospice Ethiopia.

We are delighted that Ephrem has finally been able to visit the UK. In Norwich, he visited Priscilla Bacon Lodge (see above photo) and The Market Surgery to see how palliative care is delivered in the UK. He found visiting a patient in their own home in the UK a very memorable experience.
Ephrem also gave an informative presentation at St John of the Cross church, Aylsham to local supporters about his tireless work to relieve the suffering of the dying in Ethiopia. The audience was much moved and over £400 was raised to aid his work.
We are so thankful for the response we have had from many that watched the Ethiopian Broadcasting Service (EBS) special on Hospice Ethiopia and how many people in Ethiopia are in need of Hospice and Palliative Care services. Attached is the video that was shared on EBS.

We are happy to share with you the 2018 Annual report for Hospice Ethiopia. We are very appreciative of your support and interest in helping grow Hospice services in Ethiopia. Without the support of many we would not be able to offer these services to the most vulnerable in our society.
We look forward the progress and hope that 2019 brings!
The World Hospice and Palliative are Alliance (WHPCA), Hospice Ethiopia and others met in Addis Ababa this week for the World Hospice and Palliative Care Day celebration and community meeting. Many spoke including those from the Ministry of Health and the Executive Director of Hospice Ethiopia, Ephrem Abathun.
From our Hospice Ethiopia UK Partners:
Aylsham Rotary club has raised an amazing £3000 to pay for Yohanna, a nurse at Hospice Ethiopia, to go to Hospice Africa Uganda in Kampala to study for her diploma in Palliative care.
Yohanna has said the following about this fantastic opportunity:
“My role as a palliative care nurse is to take greater responsibility for patient care and to become a specialist in areas such as pain management, symptom management and psychosocial support. In studying this diploma course in palliative care nursing, I hope that l will be able to make the most of these opportunities as my career develops. I anticipate that this diploma course in palliative care nursing will be the beginning of my lifelong career that will really make a difference in Hospice Ethiopia.”
Sue and Jamie attended a Rotary Club dinner in Aylsham at the Old Forge where Sue was able to update the members and guests about Hospice Ethiopia.
