Partnering for Impact: A Beacon of Maternal and Child Health in Ethiopia

Partnering for Impact: A Beacon of Maternal and Child Health in Ethiopia

At Maternal Health Foundation, we are thrilled to announce our newest partnership with the Bushulo Mother, Newborn and Child Health Specialty Center (MNCH-SC) in Sidama, Ethiopia. This visionary facility is not just providing care—it’s setting a national model for maternal and child health that could transform outcomes for generations.

Led by CEO Sister Thi and Medical Director Dr. Bereket, Bushulo MNCH-SC is fast becoming a beacon of hope for women and families across southern Ethiopia—and we are honored to stand beside them in this mission.

Why Bushulo MNCH-SC Matters

In a country where maternal mortality rates remain among the highest in the world, the need for specialized, accessible, and compassionate maternal healthcare is urgent. Bushulo MNCH-SC is uniquely addressing this challenge through:

High-quality obstetric care
Emergency surgical services for childbirth complications
Neonatal intensive care for vulnerable newborns
Holistic maternal care that includes mental health and postnatal support

But more than that, Bushulo is training Ethiopia’s next generation of maternal health providers, creating sustainable impact that ripples far beyond Sidama.


Leaders Driving Change: Sister Thi & Dr. Bereket

The visionaries behind this transformational work are CEO Sister Thi, a compassionate leader with decades of experience in maternal health, and Dr. Bereket, a dedicated OB-GYN whose clinical excellence is saving lives every day.

Together, they are not only improving maternal and newborn health in Sidama—they are building a replicable model that other regions across Ethiopia and Africa can follow.

“We want every mother to survive childbirth, and every child to have a healthy start to life,” says Sister Thi.
“With the right support, this model can go national—and even global.”


A Shared Vision: Maternal Health Foundation + Bushulo MNCH-SC

This partnership reflects everything we believe at Maternal Health Foundation:

  • That every woman deserves a safe birth experience

  • That healthcare access should never depend on geography

  • That local leadership and culturally competent care are key to sustainable change

By supporting Bushulo MNCH-SC, we are investing in a future where no woman is left behind—and every child has a chance to thrive.
