This National Master Plan for Ethiopia on Neglected Tropical Diseases updates and strengthens the first master plan 2013-15; integrating new developments in policy and programing; and covers planned NTD interventions that will be implemented during the period 2016–2020 across the country.

This plan is developed with the overall goal of realizing a sustainable integrated national NTD prevention, control and elimination programme. This will enable the achievement of the national NTD targets by 2020 and provide a secure platform for future endeavors. Ultimately, this will contribute to the poverty alleviation efforts of the country[5,6]. Additionally, it will contribute to the attainments of the global NTD goals since the country shoulders a considerable disease burden in several of these diseases.

Report on Joint Mission of the United Nations Interagency Task Force on the prevention and control of Non-Communicable Diseases

Executive Summary A joint programming mission of the United Nations Interagency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases (UNIATF) to Ethiopia was held from 13-17 November 2017. Ethiopia is experiencing an increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes , chronic respiratory diseases, mental neurological and substance problems, injury and eye health and their shared risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, khat use and environmental pollution). Major NCDs (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases) account for 30% of total deaths and the probability of dying prematurely (between ages 30 and 70 years) from one of the four main NCDs is 15%. Injuries account for 10% all deaths in Ethiopia. Mental disorders account for 11% of the disease burden in Ethiopia; major depressive disorder alone is the third leading cause of years of life lost due to disability. National prevalence of high blood pressure is 16%, while the prevalence of high blood sugar is 6%. Recent data suggest that by 2040, NCDs will account for nearly 70% of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in Ethiopia. There was significant concern from almost all ministries about the impact of NCDs on the country’s economy and productivity.

Ethiopia - National Maternal Death Surveillance and Response System Annual Report 2010 EFY

The national Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) system has been implemented for the last five years nationwide. This is the first annual report to present trends in data since the 2006 Ethiopian Fiscal Year (EFY) introduction of the system. During the current 2010 EFY, the system captured 1302 maternal deaths with weekly notifications and 1010 maternal death case-based reports. Among case-based reports, 423 were reported via verbal autopsy and 454 via facility-based abstraction, and for 133 the data source was not known. This represents 10 % of maternal deaths captured by weekly notification and 8% captured by case-based reports, based on Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey 2016 GC estimates of maternal deaths throughout the country. Slightly fewer case-based reports were reviewed in 2010 EFY compared to 2009 EFY, possibly as a result of political events during the year, and therefore some late reports may still be submitted in future.
