EBS Health is a new initiative that we at Ethiopian Benefactors Society Inc. believe is essential in the development of our beneficiaries. Our goal with EBS Health is to give access to private primary care doctors to all of our past, present, and future beneficiaries. Although there are free clinics and hospitals throughout Addis Ababa, the private clinics are able to give a more prompt and comprehensive service due to their relatively small amount of patients and larger staffs. Doctor visits cost an average of 70Birr ($4), with individual procedures being charged separately.
In our efforts to fulfill our mission of "giving the young people of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia the emotional and financial support they need to dream big about life and fulfill those dreams," we have come to realize that a healthy mind is for not, if not accompanied by a healthy body. With the help of our benefactors and subscribers our beneficiaries will have the peace that comes with the attainment of both a healthy mind and body.
Our volunteers will begin to implement the EBS Health program in the summer of 2011.
