President Sahle-work delivered a speech and danced to music to the delight of ministers, heads of health bureaus and journalists who were present.
The occasion was the inauguration of two medical plants located in Dessie and Bahir Dar that were established at a cost of 2.5 million dollars. The facilities were funded by GE Foundation, Grand Challenge Canada and the Amhara Region Health Bureau.
