Health Experts

The Healthcare Unit aims at providing affordable and accessible healthcare to all, which it has done for many years. Its approach, using the most recent developments and finance methods, is followed throughout the world. Working toward better healthcare involves more than just building hospitals. It also involves providing a workplace where doctors and nurses both can and want to work as well as keeping the costs under control and verifiable. Healthcare needs to be, in addition, accessible to those who need it; particularly to mothers and children.

Recently Cordaid’s Healthcare Unit submitted an Expression of Interest (EoI) to the Ethiopian Ministry of Finance & Economic Development for the Procurement Notice under the project ‘Promoting Basic Services (PBS) III’, titled ‘Health Facility Survey (Service Delivery Indicator –SDI) Survey 1’.
