Health is the foundation of family well-being, community development, and sustainable prosperity. The Shaggar City Health Office is committed to improving the health and quality of life of our residents by expanding access to essential health services, strengthening healthcare facilities, improving service quality, and promoting equitable and affordable healthcare for all.
During the three-year Health Sector Development and Investment Plan (2016–2018 Ethiopian Fiscal Years), our office made significant progress in expanding healthcare infrastructure, strengthening the health workforce, improving the availability of medicines and medical equipment, and introducing digital health services. These efforts contributed to the expansion of health centers and health posts, the establishment of new hospitals, improvements in health insurance coverage, and increased access to maternal and child health, preventive, diagnostic, and curative services.
Despite the challenges that Shaggar city has been going through since its establishment, we have achieved remarkable results in improving health accessibility, equity and quality of health services. With the dedication of the health sector and stakeholders, we are on our way to lay the foundation for transforming Shaggar City into a “quality health service benchmark”.
Our achievements reflect the collective efforts of healthcare professionals, government institutions, development partners, community organizations, and residents. We remain committed to strengthening Universal Health Coverage, improving disease prevention and control, reducing preventable maternal and child deaths, and ensuring that every resident can access quality healthcare without undue financial hardship.
Through evidence-based planning, innovation, digital transformation, and strong community participation, the Shaggar City Health Office will continue working toward a healthier and more resilient community. The leadership and health professionals’ commitment of the health sector from top to bottom have achieved remarkable changes in a short period of time by establishing new urban structure, employing staff, improving health supply system and technology, providing strong and effective leadership. Shaggar city health work force at all levels, working day and night since the establishment of the city, have been serving the community with passionate, enthusiasm and caring with respect to achieve our goals.
We invite residents, partners, and stakeholders to explore this website, learn about our health programs and achievements, and join us in advancing accessible, equitable, and high-quality healthcare for everyone.
