The new complex at the Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) goes beyond infrastructure!

Anyone who wants to create, see, and experience the future should visit the Science Museum’s permanent exhibition—an inspiring showcase two years in the making. If Ethiopians truly want to shape tomorrow, they should bring their children here. I humbly encourage our young people to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to learn and grow by visiting the exhibition this rainy season.

Ethiopia is proud to host the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), a specialized public health agency of the African Union. Its laboratory and research capabilities play a crucial role in disease prevention and in coordinating responses to epidemics and pandemics. This also presents a valuable opportunity for our health sector professionals to engage in continental research efforts and utilize its advanced laboratory facilities. For member states, it is incumbent upon us to strengthen this institution in collaboration with partners. Therefore, I call upon fellow African leaders to join efforts in establishing our continental public health agency as a premier institution, fully committed to advancing health across the continent.
