Changing Lives Since 2008
CURE Ethiopia has been a place of hope since opening its doors in 2008. As a teaching hospital in partnership with the College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA), we are multiplying the next generation of healthcare workers through our residency and fellowship training programs. With 70 beds, four operating rooms, and an outpatient clinic, we provide both world-class medical care and minister to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their communities.
By the Numbers
CURE Ethiopia provides surgical care to children regardless of their economic status, ethnicity, religious background, or gender. Support from generous donors makes it possible.

CUREkid Spotlight, CURE Ethiopia
Megertu | Clubfoot
Before Surgery
Megertu was born with clubfoot, a condition that made it hard for her to walk, prevented her from attending school regularly, and brought her ridicule.
After Surgery
Surgery to correct her clubfoot transformed Megertu’s life. She says, “[Now I have] a productive, independent life. I am happier, I learned to pray, and I have compassion for people suffering.”
