    Since its establishment in 2004, the primary impetus for launching MeseretHigher Clinic revolves around a core vision i.e.

    To help satisfy the tremendous demand for medical care services in thecountry and do so by raising the quality premium across all of the typi-cal (as well as not-so-typical) services offered by comparable medical careproviders

    Such a vision in turn entails the need for focused attention across a wide-range of variables like availability of in-house specialist doctors, array of medical equipment and resident expertise on the optimal use of these equip-ment in addition to other salient factors related to overall enhancement of patient/client experience such as quick turnaround times for medical testsas well as exible payment plans.

    In addition to its core operations as a private medical care provider, Meseret

    Higher Clinic carries out its responsibility as a good corporate citizen inview of the numerous non-pro t services it provides to under privileged inclose collaboration with many non-pro t entities.

    In short, it is my sincere hope that this pro le document serves as a properintroduction to Meseret Higher Clinic and the host of services that it offersto individuals, hospitals & other medical care providers, insurance compa-nies as well as organizations and their employees. As always, our doors areopen everyday 24/7 (24-hours/7-days-a-week), so please feel free to visitor call us.
