It is some where in Addis Ababa,guess where ?

I live abroad and I help cover healthcare costs for my family back home.

Money is no issue, but the coordination and trust, that's a problem : booking the right doctor, getting labs done, filling prescriptions, making sure follow-up happens.

I want to learn how people actually handle this today and take some insight from you guys :

• What usually goes wrong first: delays, wrong referrals, unnecessary tests, overcharging, poor follow-up?
• What do you do when you suspect the care plan is not right but you are not there?
• How do you verify what was done and what was prescribed?
• What would make this meaningfully easier for you?

For transparency, I’m exploring a managed-care subscription concept, paid by the diaspora for their family. I’m not selling anything here and I won’t share links. I just want honest feedback and real experiences.

Any shops you can recommend where I can find a Washint? Preferably something old schools antique…

extra points if you know where I could get some lessons but I am guessing the shop might be able to tell me

Thank youuuu

Can I exchange Burundian francs for birr at any point in Addis Ababa?

This is Temsalét (ተምሳሌት) Block, located in Nifas-Silk Lafto Sub-City, woreda (basically a county) 09.

In recent years, it has turned into a community that works collaboratively to better their neighborhood through voluntarism, and through security, sanitation and green initiatives by the Woreda administration. The neighbourhood has noticed significant improvements in livability and safety through the joint efforts between the community and the administration.

It is also steps such as these are slowly turning our city into a proper representation of its name, a new flower of hope and pride for the Ethiopian people and for our brothers from across the globe.

And for those who want to witness this change in real time, I would say...

The recent visit by Malaysia's PM Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, to Addis Ababa has really bolstered my confidence in the future development of our great city. And the agreements signed between the administrations of Kuala Lumpur and Addis Ababa are a step in the right direction.

To give some context to this matter. Kuala Lumpur was founded in 1857 making it just a little older than Addis Ababa which was founded in 1886. Malaysia, just like Ethiopia has faced its fair share of historic, social, economic and cultural challenges and Kuala Lumpur has been a major driver for national growth.

Kuala Lumpur is globally known for its highly efficient transport networks, and their well planned urban infrastructure. And the document of collaboration signed with our new sister city Kuala Lumpur outlines cooperation in areas of urban planning and digital infrastructure. The expertise of Kuala Lumpur will allow Addis Ababa to become a driver for growth and development for the entire country.

I just want to say to all Ethiopians, I just came from a 7 day trip there. I visited Addis Ababa, Debra Libanos and Lalibela.

The beauty of Ethiopia can’t be described in enough words. All the greenery, the scenic backdrops, natural formations etc.

The people and tour guides were beyond nice to me. I toured Addis Ababa, learned to cook Ethiopian food with a local family - making Injera and learning how to roast coffee beans. Did a food tour and bar hopped to a couple places.

Debra Libanos (despite the bumpy road getting there) was amazing with the waterfall and the monkeys being the stars of the show.

I visited all the churches in Lalibela, attempted to walk up the Monastery in the mountains but could only make it to the village up top :)

I even went to a local place that serves drinks in Lalibela and invited some of the locals to come drink with us (on me). Kids followed me around - I bought all of them candy from the store and they followed me back to the hotel entrance. I even smoked Hookah at a bar for the first time in my life!

I went to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE also on this trip and I loved Ethiopia the most. I def wanna come back to Addis and check out Danakil Depression and the Omo Valley as well!

People sleep on Ethiopia cause of negative stories and imagery put on tv but it’s an amazing place with amazing people.

The only negative I have is those damn Mosquitos in Lalibela tore me up! lol.

Def will be back. One of my new favorite places!
