The University is also working with and creating consortia with four local universities (Arba Minch, Wolkite, Worabe and Dilla). It operates in three regions (Sidama, Central Ethiopia, and Southern Ethiopia) across 25 woredas/districts, encompassing 25 Woreda Health Offices, 16 hospitals, 93 health centers, and 421 health posts, totaling 555 health institutions. Significant changes in HIS have been documented at HU CBMP, which has implemented cost-effective, innovative approaches in creating model HIS woredas. In addition to documenting and publishing scientific evidence generated from this program, it also supports postgraduate students (Master’s and PhD) in research and undergraduate students.
