The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) of Ethiopia is committed to ensuring the quality and standards of health services in the Country. One of the five strategic areas on which human resource development (HRD) should focus as identified by the health policy of Ethiopia is developing appropriate continuing education for all categories of health workers in the health sector. Besides, ensuring that health related training is responsive to the health needs of the nation is one of the strategic objectives of the national Human Resource for Health (HRH). Moreover, initiating and strengthening continuing education is key HRD component of the Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP). It is evident that capable health work force is essential to continually improve the quality of health service delivery in the country. The competency of health professionals has to be continually developed through standardized in-service training. Above all the primary goal of CPD program is ensuring quality health service by competent health professionals and to link the continuing education unit (CEU) with license renewal requirement.
