Ethiopian health officials gathered in Addis Ababa on May 27, 2025, to examine findings from a comprehensive evaluation of the Dagu electronic logistics system. The assessment examined 251 public health facilities across the nation to determine how effectively the digital platform manages medical supply chains. European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations provided funding for the nationwide study that measured system functionality and impact on healthcare delivery.

Results showed that 63.7 percent of facilities maintain operational Dagu systems with an average medicine availability rate of 88.3 percent for essential pharmaceuticals. The World Health Organization praised the collaborative assessment process while acknowledging infrastructure barriers and connectivity issues that limit broader implementation. Ministry of Health officials emphasized their commitment to expanding digital health innovations despite challenges with staff training and internet access.

The workshop produced actionable recommendations for strengthening digital infrastructure and improving system integration across health programs. Participants identified the need for enhanced connectivity, routine performance monitoring, and legal frameworks to support mandatory system adoption throughout Ethiopia's healthcare network.
