St. Paul's College Inaugurates New Half-Kilometer Road
St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College has officially inaugurated a newly constructed half-kilometer asphalt road at its Family Medicine Department, improving access to the facility. The road, which was constructed under the standards set by the Addis Ababa Road Authority, aims to address previous challenges, particularly for wheelchair-bound patients and ambulances, who had difficulty accessing the hospital, especially during the rainy season.
The total cost of the project amounted to 8 million Ethiopian Birr. The road was built by Bamacon Engineering Plc, Asmelash and Sons Construction Plc, and Kibish Construction, with funding provided by these engineering groups and the College. During the inauguration ceremony, the CEO of the Sub-city, Mr. Wolde Wogessi , praised St. Paul’s Hospital for its continuous contributions to the community, highlighting the importance of the new road as a vital infrastructure improvement. “This project is a great example of how the hospital is working closely with the community,” he said.
On behalf of St. Paul’s College, Mr. Jemal Shifa, Business and Development Vice provost, emphasized the institution’s ongoing efforts to support the community. He noted that over 90,000 people have benefited from free medical checkups organized by the hospital and its outreach programs, including the construction and repair of homes for disadvantaged families.
Dr. Sisay Sirgu, the Provost of St. Paul’s, also extended his gratitude to the construction companies, local representatives, and Gulele Subcity officials for their support and contributions to the successful completion of the road project. "This is a significant step towards improving the quality of life for those we serve," he concluded.
The newly inaugurated road will undoubtedly enhance access to the hospital, ensuring better service delivery for both the local community and visitors to the facility.
