SPHMMC Hosts Event to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness and Enhance Care
In I observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) hosted a significant event aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer and improving patient care. The event featured including a community walk and an expert-led panel discussion.
The walk, which took participants from SPHMMC to Embilta, was attended by hospital staff, patient support groups, breast cancer survivors, members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), community service representatives, and invited guests from the Ministry of Health. Participants proudly wore t-shirts emblazoned with the event’s motto, symbolizing solidarity in the fight against breast cancer.
Following the walk, a panel discussion was held, where healthcare experts presented key topics, including the patterns of breast cancer observed at SPHMMC, the impact of the MDT, available resources in the hospital’s breast and endocrine surgery units, and patient support initiatives. The discussion also featured patient testimonials, highlighting the personal experiences of those affected by breast cancer.
During a subsequent Q&A session, patients raised concerns about challenges they face, including frequent stockouts of oncology medications and disruptions in services. These issues were addressed by representatives from both SPHMMC and the Ministry of Health, underscoring the hospital’s commitment to improving service delivery.
The event also highlighted the importance of maintaining breast cancer awareness and screening efforts beyond October, with a focus on integrating these practices into routine care as part of the national health guidelines.
SPHMMC’s continued dedication to breast cancer care and awareness serves as a model for other institutions to follow.

St.Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College
St. Paul's is a leading public hospital and medical college in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Professor Senait Fisseha and Dr. Zerihun Abebe Honored for Advancing Radiology at SPHMMC
The St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) and the Radiological Society of Ethiopia have honored Professor Senait Fisseha and Dr. Zerihun Abebe for their pivotal contributions to establishing and expanding the Radiology Residency Program at SPHMMC.
The awards were presented during the 28th Annual Ethiopian Radiological Society Conference, recognizing their instrumental roles in advancing radiology training and healthcare services in Ethiopia.
Professor Senait Fisseha, Director of Global Programs at the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, was commended for her efforts in launching the Radiology Residency Program. Her work included supporting curriculum development, drafting the department’s first strategic plan, and forging a partnership with the University of Michigan’s Radiology Department. She also provided financial support for travel between the two institutions, supplied teaching aids such as tablets for residents, and facilitated access to diagnostic tools like STATdx. Additionally, her contributions extended to covering the costs of radiology fellowship training.
Dr. Zerihun Abebe, currently CEO of King Faisal Hospital in Rwanda and former Provost of SPHMMC, was lauded for his transformative leadership. Under his tenure, SPHMMC introduced critical healthcare services, including Ethiopia’s first public hemodialysis and renal transplant center and a state-of-the-art CAT-Lab. He also laid the foundations for establishing major centers of excellence in cardiology, gastroenterology, and oncology.
Dr. Zerihun played a key role in securing funding and resources, enabling the successful implementation of numerous initiatives. His leadership and close follow-up were credited with strengthening the radiology department during its formative years. “Without his leadership, the department's current achievements would not have been possible,” attendees noted during the ceremony.
A Leading Program in Ethiopia
Established in 2014, the Radiology Residency Program at SPHMMC has grown into one of Ethiopia's premier institutions for radiology specialty and subspecialty training. To date, it has graduated over 110 radiologists, accounting for 33% of the nation’s radiology workforce.
The program equips trainees with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in imaging technologies, including computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-rays, enabling them to make significant contributions both locally and internationally.
SPHMMC and the Radiological Society of Ethiopia emphasized the lasting impact of the contributions made by Professor Senait and Dr. Zerihun in transforming radiology training and healthcare delivery in the country.
