The partnership aims to connect classroom learning with real-world medical practice, equip future healthcare professionals with practical skills, and support better healthcare services for communities across Ethiopia.

The MoU was signed by Dr.-Ing. Towfik Jemal, President of Werabe University, and Yetnayet Tamirat, CEO and Founder of Swiss Diagnostics Ethiopia.

Under the agreement, the two institutions will work together to provide clinical attachments and hands-on training for undergraduate medical students, medical laboratory science students, and postgraduate scholars. These opportunities will help students gain practical experience, strengthen their professional skills, and better prepare for the demands of the healthcare sector.

Research is another key focus of the partnership. The institutions will collaborate on priority health issues, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, dermatopathology, gastrointestinal diseases, and lung cancer.

Beyond education and research, the partnership seeks to bring healthcare services closer to communities. Through joint initiatives, the two institutions will promote cancer screening, encourage early diagnosis, and raise public awareness about disease prevention and the importance of timely medical care.

The agreement also opens opportunities for technology transfer and the modernization of laboratory services.

Through this collaboration, Werabe University aims to expand practical learning opportunities, strengthen its research capabilities, and improve access to specialized diagnostic services. The partnership also reflects the University's commitment to connecting academic knowledge with practical solutions that address real healthcare needs.

 By bringing together the University's academic expertise and Swiss Diagnostics Ethiopia's diagnostic capabilities, the agreement lays the groundwork for a partnership that can benefit students, healthcare professionals, researchers, and the wider community.
