  • History About Us

    Yekatit 12 Hospital, known as "Bethsaida" (meaning "house of sick people"), was established in 1923 E.C. with the vision of promoting the health of the Ethiopian people. Initially, the hospital had a capacity of twenty-five (25) beds and a staff of thirty-five (35) health professionals, including a Swedish physician, two expatriate foreign nurses, and thirty-two (32) Ethiopian health professionals (two nurses and thirty health assistants).

    Dr. Hanner, the Swedish physician, founded "Bethsaida" and served as the first medical director until the Italian invasion.In 1928, the Italians renamed the hospital Batoria Emanuel Hospital and took over its management. Following the Italian evacuation, the British Red Cross Society managed the hospital, with a focus on treating war victims.

    During this time, the hospital's admission capacity was expanded to 140 beds, and it became a pioneer in modern health science education. The first nursing school in Ethiopia graduated thirteen (13) batches of Red Cross dresser nurses between 1949 and 1962 G.C.

    In 1947, the hospital was chartered and managed by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie Welfare Society for twenty years, known as Haile Selassie Hospital, until the Derge regime in 1967. It was then renamed Yekatit 12 Hospital and became one of the five referral hospitals under the Addis Ababa City Administration Regional Health Bureau.

    Yekatit 12 Hospital was designated as a hospital medical college by the City Government of Addis Ababa in 2011 G.C. Recognizing the hospital's long-standing service to the residents of Addis Ababa and considering its present status, the city administration decided to re-establish it as a center for training medical professionals, integrated with medical health service delivery.

    The college is dedicated to train medium and higher-level health professionals through a new method of training that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Additionally, the hospital has been redesigned to serve as a research center for the college, in addition to providing medical services.

    Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College is committed to delivering quality healthcare services and producing competent health professionals. Currently, the college offers both extension and regular programs in masters of general public health, reproductive health, and healthcare quality.

    It also offers residency programs in internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, GYN/OBs, maxillofacial surgery, anesthesiology, emergency, critical care and pain management programs, as well as sub-specialty fellowship programs in feto-maternal medicine and urogynecology.

    The college has successfully graduated seven rounds of qualified and competent general practitioners, three rounds of public health masters' graduates, second-round pediatricians and internists, and the first round of residents in general surgery, OBs/GYN, and cranio-maxillofacial surgery specialists since 2024 and started post basic degree program in Neonatal nursing, comprehensive nursing, emergency and critical care nursing and medical science laboratory

    A total of 219 academic staff members, ranging from lecturers to professors, are actively involved in teaching, research, and community service in collaboration with the college's principal stakeholders. A variety of healthcare professionals and supportive staff members are dedicated to providing healthcare services to the community in order to achieve the hospital medical college's mission, vision, and goals.
