This clinic is a ministry of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church, Mekaneyesus (EECMY) and the Presbyterian Church USA, which provides primary health care services to the individuals and families of seven rural villages in southwest Ethiopia. Funds for the Gatcheb clinic support clinic operations as well as medical training for birth attendants and health assistants at the hospital. It is estimated that there is one doctor for every 60,000 Ethiopians. So, this clinic is strategic in its efforts to provide both preventative and some curative medicine. It is of interest to note that First Pres Evanston Mission Director Caryl Weinberg formerly served here for three years.
