The Department of Pediatrics and Neonatal Nursing at Wallaga University is dedicated to addressing Ethiopia’s urgent need for child and newborn health professionals. Health is humanity’s greatest asset, and the well-being of children is the foundation of a nation’s future. Yet, Ethiopia, like many African countries, faces a shortage and inequitable distribution of trained pediatric and neonatal nurses.

Studies highlight critical gaps: only 12.9% of nurses in Ethiopia are pediatric specialists, knowledge and practice in pediatric pain management remain inadequate, and most hospitals lack sufficient neonatal intensive care staff. These challenges contribute to high rates of preventable neonatal and childhood illness and mortality. Our department is committed to closing these gaps by training competent, compassionate, and innovative pediatric and neonatal nurses, while also advancing research, technology, and community service.

We call upon governmental and non-governmental partners, academic institutions, and development organizations to collaborate with us in strengthening child and newborn health services across Ethiopia. Together, we can ensure that every child survives, thrives, and reaches their full potential.

“Caring for children today, building a healthier Ethiopia tomorrow.”

With my best regards,
