A Growing Practice of Medical Care in TownThe practice of sending older people and those who need special care to specialized centres are rare in Ethiopia. Residents of a nursing home care facility have access to competent nursing care and 24-hour medical treatment because there is always at least one qualified and registered nurse on the premises. Similarly, unstable employment and poverty can lead to inadequate family care. Some nursing homes offer specialized care centres; they have staff members who look after resident patients with a particular medical condition. While all nursing homes provide housing and personal care, certain speciality nursing homes also offer additional services for residents with more complex requirements.
