I think about Ethiopia and I am not clear how to start, a mixture of feelings and a lot of information is surrounding me… The life and death can stay so close that any experience has a special tone. Named Abissinia as well, Ethiopia is still today a mythic land. Due to "Lucy" Australopithecus Afarensis finding, it is acknowledged like the starting point of human being. In addition, it is one of the developing countries with core health indicators under world´ standard line and a "Fresh Health System" which still doesn’t cover properly the population’s needs. Like another country in this situation, the Ethiopian look for a mixture of Traditional medicine Vs Western one, meanwhile the National policies are trying of reach the aims and outlines fixed in the world. Like a result, there is an interesting landscape to any Public Health specialist and/or someone who can be interested in abroad sanitarian status.
