Key takeaway Highlights Health and nutrition remain among the leading sectors advancing refugee inclusion in Alemwach and Aftit settlements.
Why this matters
The ongoing efforts to integrate refugees into Ethiopia's national health system, as highlighted in the UNHCR's thematic factsheet, demonstrate a critical step towards advancing refugee inclusion in the Amhara Region. By supporting key health facilities, such as the Aftit Health Center and the University of Gondar Specialized Hospital, UNHCR and its partners are strengthening service delivery for both refugees and host communities. However, the constraints faced by these efforts, including insecurity, limited access to ambulances, and funding gaps, underscore the need for sustained support and resources to ensure the long-term viability of these initiatives. The fact that health and nutrition remain leading sectors for refugee inclusion suggests that these efforts are yielding positive results, but continued investment is necessary to address the lingering challenges and ensure that refugees and host communities receive adequate access to healthcare.
