Abstract
Benefits and Experiences of Establishing Knowledge Centers: A Case Study from Two Public Hospitals in Ethiopia
In 2010, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) of Ethiopia, in collaboration with the Global Health Workforce Alliance(the Alliance) and the World Health Organization (WHO), agreed to establish three pilot knowledge centers (KCs). Two of KCs have been functional for two years. This assessment was meant to explore the benefits and experiences gained since the two KCs.
