Purpose: As a part of an ongoing case study conducted during my collegiate education, I decided to do a comprehensive review of Ethiopia. I chose Ethiopia because it has one of the highest rates of blindness in the world; thus, an in-depth study of this country’s health system is pertinent to my goal of conducting economic evaluations of efficiency for future interventions I want to implement to decrease the prevalence of blindness among the Ethiopian population. Ethiopia has a rich and fascinating history, and the events that have transpired throughout time have directly and indirectly influenced the country’s current healthcare system and subsequent health outcomes. By analyzing and contextualizing the country’s health system, I can further my analysis of how the healthcare infrastructure of Ethiopia has contributed to the inequities and inefficiencies that result in specific ocular diseases, such as trachoma and cataracts. This composition demonstrates my strength in composing a comprehensive infographic with details highlighting the different aspects of Ethiopia’s health system.
