Only 17% of the population lives in urban areas (compared with an average of 37% across the rest of Africa), while 47% of the population lives below the poverty line.<\/p>\n<p>According to the African Health Observatory (2010), life expectancy in Ethiopia increased from 48 years in 1990 to 58 years in 2008, slightly above the African average of 53 years. Children aged 0\u201314 account for 46.1% of the population, with a median age of 16.9 years. Communicable and infectious diseases represent 73% of the country&#8217;s total disease burden, while non-communicable diseases account for 20% and injuries for 6%. Among the main reasons for the population&#8217;s poor health status are inadequate healthcare infrastructure and, above all, the severe shortage of trained healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-783 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Mekelle \u0391\u03b9\u03b8\u03b9\u03bf\u03c0\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are only 0.4 physicians and 2 nurses\/midwives per 10,000 people in Ethiopia, well below the African averages of 2 physicians and 11 nurses\/midwives per 10,000 people, respectively.

country in Africa after Nigeria, with a population of more than 80 million people, is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Only 17% of the population lives in urban areas (compared with 37% across the rest of Africa), while 47% of the population lives below the poverty line.<\/p>\n<p>According to the 2010 African Health Observatory, life expectancy in Ethiopia increased from 48 years in 1990 to 58 years in 2008, slightly above the African average of 53 years. Children aged 0\u201314 years make up 46.1% of the population, with a median age of 16.9 years.<\/p>\n<p>Communicable and infectious diseases account for 73% of the country&#8217;s total disease burden, while non-communicable diseases represent 20% and injuries account for 6%. Among the main factors contributing to the population&#8217;s poor health status are inadequate healthcare infrastructure and, above all, the severe shortage of specialized healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-783 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Mekelle \u0391\u03b9\u03b8\u03b9\u03bf\u03c0\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.missionanthropos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2012-Mekelle-ethiopia-11.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"274\">There are <strong data-start=\"10\" data-end=\"68\">0.4 physicians and 2 nurses\/midwives per 10,000 people<\/strong> in Ethiopia, well below the African averages of <strong data-start=\"117\" data-end=\"174\">2 physicians and 11 nurses\/midwives per 10,000 people<\/strong>, respectively.
