Addis Cardiac Hospital

Welcome to Website of Addis Cardiac Hospital

Cardiovascular diseases are, by far, the most prevalent causes of death in the world today. Addis Cardiac Hospital takes pride in being the first specialized Cardiovascular hospital in Ethiopia.

Cardiovascular diseases have typically been limited to economically developed countries. Due to rapid changes in life style (urbanization, consumption of excessive amounts of animal-derived fat, a sedentary life style and smoking) as well as increasing life expectancy, as a result of the control of communicable diseases, the problem has spread to the previously less developed regions of Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia and to certain sectors of the populations of the poor African countries.

Recognizing this increased need of specialized healthcare, Addis Cardiac Hospital strives to provide its patients with high quality medical treatments according to their specific need.

My Spine Surgery journey at Addis Cardiac Center.

Rated 5.0 out of 5
April 8, 2024

It was an endless war with my back pain until I underwent a spinal operation at the Addis Cardiac Center.The support I received during the entire procedure, from consultation to post-recovery, was excellent, and the staff’s knowledge was outstanding. Most importantly, they talked about cost. During the operation, the doctor said they will ensure that they check all the lists to eliminate any unavoidable expenses.

The transparency was a significant relief, as it allowed me to overcome the anxiety of the cost of surgery thereby making the recovery process more manageable. Due to the surgical team’s expertise and open-book pricing policy, the quality of my life underwent a substantial improvement, and now I have no pain.

Outstanding Neurosurgery Care at Addis Cardiac Center.

Rated 5.0 out of 5
April 8, 2024

I have been through years of a neurological disease and I decided to see the Addis Cardiac Center for the neurosurgery service. The first thing that struck me when I got in was their outstanding professionalism and the crew being properly courteous to the staff members. It was, however, more relieving with pricing transparency by no surprise because all the additional hidden costs were included.

While being on this road, I was optimistic and also apprehensive at the same time. But I was so lucky to be furnished with the information and guidance which were super relieving to my doubts. I am very thankful to the neurosurgeons team and their straightforward pricing, which allowed my surgery to be conducted with my best interest, which I am now on the mending way. Through various means, Addis Cardiac center was exceptional.
