The head of the treatment and rehabilitation process of the Tigray Health Bureau Dr. Simon G/Tsadik, in his part said, that due to the destruction of 80% of Tigray's health centers during the war, the death of people has increased over time because of the lack of utilities and medicine. He used this opportunity to call up other institutions to follow in the footsteps of the EPHA to reach the wide demand of the region.
At the event, nearly ETB 400,000 worth of contraceptives and related reproductive health commodities were donated to the Regional Health Bureau office from the Consortium of Reproductive Health Associations (CORHA). Mr. Abebe Kebede, CORHA’s Executive Director handed the materials over to Dr. Simon G/Tsadik. It was noted that the donation is vital and timely to address the urgent contraceptive demand in the region 

On the occasion, the Tigray region EPHA Chapter, which was inactive due to the situation in Tigray, has also been launched in a new form.
