Urological diseases like kidney stones, prostate enlargement, and urinary tract infections impact the quality of life in Ethiopia. However, enough care remains limited due to a shortage of trained urologists and a lack of advanced medical equipment. However, Addis Ababa has the best hospitals where you can find leading internationally trained and awarded urologists. A recent survey of Ethiopian urologists revealed that while 75.8% practice endourology, essential tools like Flexible UreteroRenoScopes (URS) and laser lithotripters are scarce, forcing reliance on open surgeries. With only limited urologists serving a population of over 120 million, the demand for care far exceeds available resources.
Ethiopia is prioritizing investment in healthcare infrastructure to manage the challenges, including training programs and advanced equipment in urology. The urology expert in Addis Ababa collaborates with international doctors and surgeons who offer the best care to Ethiopians during visits.
