Doctors available round the clock thanks to new call centre in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has embraced a medical innovation that allows people to access medical help 24-hours a day with a simple phone call.
Every day, the team of medical professionals at Hello Doctor receives around 200 calls. For a country where the ratio of doctors to patients is estimated at one to 30-thousand, and accessibility to health centres is a challenge in many areas, this service is proving to be a godsend.
