It was a great privilege to present #FayyaaHub on the #3rd day of the #5th #National #Data and #Digital #Health #Week, #2026
FayyaaHub is a web-based telemedicine application that enables healthcare providers at spoke facilities to consult with specialists at hub facilities, share patient information, and deliver timely, high-quality healthcare services to underserved communities.
In the FayyaaHub model:
• Hub facilities are equipped with specialist professionals
• Spoke facilities are remote health facilities that lack specialist professionals
Currently, FayyaaHub is being piloted in:
• 2 Hub facilities
• 17 Spoke facilities in the Oromia Region.
We welcome support to expand this initiative through:
? Financial support for FayyaaHub
? Supporting facilities to join the service
? Providing resources and infrastructure support to hub facilities
If you are interested in learning more or supporting this initiative, please contact Oromia Health Bureau.
