Mr. Dinkye Beze, a 68-year-old man living with a disability, has been residing in Mekaneyesus IDP Camp after being displaced from Wollega five years ago due to conflict. For several years, he suffered from a chronic illness characterized by persistent dry cough, severe headaches, and sharp body pain, particularly during the night. His condition significantly affected his quality of life and daily functioning.
In search of treatment, Mr. Dinkye visited several health facilities across the Amhara Region, including facilities in Bahir Dar, Debre Tabor, Dessie, and Haik. Despite repeated consultations and treatments, his condition showed little to no improvement.
In February 2026, Mr. Dinkye sought medical care at the EDA-supported IDP Clinic in Mekaneyesus Camp. He received comprehensive medical treatment, counseling, and regular follow-up support from the clinic’s health professionals. By strictly adhering to the prescribed medication and medical advice, he began to experience significant improvements in his health.
Over the past three months, Mr. Dinkye’s chronic symptoms have substantially improved, and he reports being free from the illness that had affected him for years. His overall health and well-being have greatly improved, allowing him to live more comfortably and with renewed hope.
Mr. Dinkye expressed his sincere gratitude to EDA and the clinic staff for the quality healthcare services, counseling, and continuous support that helped restore his health and improve his quality of life.
