About

Habesha Health is a virtual health education platform created to address health disparities within the Habesha community.

Habesha Health first began as the Habesha Women’s Health Expo, an in-person health symposium held in San Francisco. The event was created by Habesha women in the community who recognized that many women felt shy, uncomfortable, or afraid when speaking with healthcare providers due to cultural and language barriers.

After several years, Habesha Health was relaunched as a virtual platform in August 2020, to make health education more accessible to Habesha communities everywhere.

Today, Habesha Health brings together healthcare professionals, community members, and health advocates to share trusted information and create conversations around topics that impact our community.
