The Ethiopia Subnational Burden of Disease project, a collaboration between the Ethiopian Public Health Institute’s National Data Management Center and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, is pleased to announce the publication of a new study, “Progress in health among regions of Ethiopia, 1990-2019: a subnational country analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019” in The Lancet.
For the first time, we provide an analysis of the effects of 369 diseases and injuries and 87 risk factors on premature mortality, disability, and disability-adjusted life years for Ethiopia’s regions and chartered cities from 1990 to 2019. We found that Ethiopia has made substantial progress in health over the last three decades, in many ways a model for peer nations. However, progress was not uniform across Ethiopia’s highly diverse, multi-ethnic, and predominantly rural population.
This analysis identifies and ranks potential priorities for action that would reduce premature mortality, and offers a roadmap for policymakers to match strategies, resources, and interventions to the burden of diseases, and risk factors, and socio-demographic factors that can be addressed in Ethiopia’s regions and chartered cities to improve health outcomes for all Ethiopians.

#Ethiopia has made notable improvements in health over the last 3 decades, in many ways a model for peer nations. However, progress was not uniform across Ethiopia’s diverse & predominantly rural population, according to @IHME_UW & @EPHIEthiopia study »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
Health progress in regions of #Ethiopia, 1990–2019, is a model for peer nations in life expectancy, premature mortality, disability, & risk factors. However, it wasn't uniform across Ethiopia’s diverse population, found a study by @EPHIEthiopia & @IHME_UW »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
🆕 🔎 Life expectancy improved in #Ethiopia from 1990-2019, improving at birth by 21.9 years, driven by decreased mortality in #HIV/#Aids, #TB, diarrheal disease, lower respiratory infections & war and conflict, finds @EPHIEthiopia & @IHME_UW in new study »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
💡What can be done to further increase life expectancy in #Ethiopia? Targeting interventions that reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. Learn more in @EPHIEthiopia & @IHME_UW's new joint study »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
To continue progress across ALL regions in #Ethiopia, we must address social and economic determinants of health by improving #equity of health services, improving financing & reducing poverty, finds @EPHIEthiopia & @IHME_UW »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
According to 🆕@EPHIEthiopia & @IHME_UW study, health policymakers should tailor strategies & resources to specific diseases, risk & socio-demographic factors in each region of Ethiopia to reduce disparities to ensure country-wide health improvements »https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
🆕—@EPHIEthiopia and @IHME_UW analyzed premature mortality, disability, & disability-adjusted life years for #Ethiopia from 1990-2019, finding substantial health improvements over the last 3 decades though progress was not uniform across regions 🔗https://bit.ly/35YE8kv
