The Health Extension Program is one of the most innovative community-based health programs in Ethiopia. It is based on the assumption that access to and quality of primary health care in rural communities can be improved through transfer of health knowledge and skills to households. Since it became operational in 2004-2005, the Program has had a tangible effect on the thinking and practices of rural people regarding disease prevention, family health, hygiene and environmental sanitation. It has enabled Ethiopia to increase primary health care coverage from 76.9% in 2005 to 90% in 2010.
健康拓展计划是埃塞俄比亚最具创新性的社区卫生项目之一。该计划基于这样一种假设，即通过向家庭传授健康知识和技能，可以改善农村社区获得基本医疗保健的机会和提高其服务质量。自 2004-2005 年启动以来，该计划切实改变了农村居民对疾病预防、家庭保健、卫生和环境卫生的认识和做法。使埃塞俄比亚基本医疗保健覆盖率从 2005 年的 76.9%提高到 2010 年的 90%。
