These articles and editorial examine critical healthcare challenges in Ethiopia, including the impacts of war rape and forced pregnancy on Tigray's healthcare systems, cost-effective health surveys in post-conflict settings, and interventions to reduce delays in abortion services in Mekelle City. They also explore treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients at Tikur Anbessa Hospital, abortion prevalence among pastoralist communities, and factors influencing early removal of Implanon contraceptives. Together, they offer tailored solutions for Ethiopia’s complex health and post-conflict recovery needs.
