Addis Ababa
St. Paul's is a leading public hospital and medical college in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. St. Paul’s Hospital was established with the intent to help poor people who could not a ord medical expenses. The hospitals' first location was where AtobisTera (regional bus terminal) is today. It was inaugurated in July 1947 and furnished with 250 beds. The hospital was first administered by the Ministry of Health, but the management of the hospital was later transferred to the Haile Selassie I Foundation. The foundation assigned high profile people for St. Paul Hospital Board of Directors. In 1969, the new hospital buildings were constructed in the Gulele area, in Addis Ababa, its present site. The hospital had the capacity to admit 400 inpatients and 300 outpatients. During that time, the hospitals staff consisted of nine medical doctors and 18 nurses. A nursing college building was constructed at the back of the main hospital building. According to the Ministry of Planning, in 1969/70, St. Paul’s was one of the seven institutions in the country giving training in nursing. There was a building on the hospital’s premises designed to accommodate staff members. The German Evangelical Church financed 75 percent of the cost of the building’s construction while the rest of the cost was covered by welfare organizations within the country, such as the National Lottery Administration, which gave nearly one million birr.
