Ethiotelecom has announced two significant strategic partnerships that aim to enhance the country’s education and healthcare sectors.
In the first partnership, Ethiotelecom has agreed to provide a Smart Campus Solution to Addis Ababa University. This comprehensive technology solution will enable the university to create smart classrooms, allowing for easy access to educational data, better implementation of lab inspections, administration of assessment tests, and instant correction and reporting of results.
According to the agreement, this Smart Campus Technology Solution is the first of its kind in the country, and it is expected to help the university create a globally competitive academic environment.
In the second partnership, Ethiotelecom has teamed up with the Black Lion General Specialty Hospital to facilitate digital payments for medical services through its Telebirr platform. This collaboration will allow patients to conveniently make payments for diagnostic, laboratory, pharmacy, surgical, and other related medical services, including for emergency, outpatient, and inpatient care.
The partnership is expected to benefit the hospital by modernizing its operations and reducing administrative costs associated with traditional payment methods.
Ethiotelecom’s strategic decisions to partner with Addis Ababa University and the Black Lion General Specialty Hospital demonstrate the company’s commitment to leveraging its technological capabilities to drive innovation and improve access to education and healthcare services in Ethiopia.
By implementing the Smart Campus Solution and enabling digital payments in the healthcare sector, Ethiotelecom is positioning itself as a key enabler of Ethiopia’s digital transformation, empowering educational institutions and healthcare providers to enhance their services and better serve the needs of the country’s citizens.
These partnerships are seen as significant steps towards creating a more technologically advanced and efficient education and healthcare ecosystem in Ethiopia, ultimately contributing to the overall development and progress of the nation.
