About Us

Collaboration in Research and Patient Care

EtNoHep was formalized as an NGO in 2024, but its history started already a decade before when Ethiopian and Norwegian researchers came together to establish a pilot program for treatment of hepatitis B at St. Paul’s Hospital in Addis Ababa. Simultaneously, the group was intrigued by the high prevalence of unexplained liver disease in eastern Ethiopia, and set up a case-control study aiming to reveal the underlying causes. 

Mission

To conduct comprehensive and high-quality research on liver disease in Ethiopia, aiming to uncover critical insights and data that can contribute to better understanding, prevention, and treatment of liver conditions in the region.
