Past Activities
Addis Ababa Partnership in Infectious Diseases
(AMP-ID)
In 2009, a new partnership was forged between the Department of Medicine of AAU and members of the division of Infectious Diseases at 91˿Ƶ, to implement a post-graduate sub-specialty training program in Infectious Diseases (ID) for Ethiopian physicians. This program was initially supported through charitable and industry donations, until funding was obtained from the Research Institute 91˿Ƶ Health Centre, to include a research component. This led to a decision to formalize the partnership under the auspices of 91˿Ƶ Global Health Programs, the JD Maclean Centre for Tropical Diseases and Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences. The partnership has been named “Addis Ababa – 91˿Ƶ Partnership in Infectious Diseases”, or AMP-ID.
