The Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration in Family Medicine (TAAAC-FM) has supported Ethiopia's inaugural FM residency since its inception. In 2025, TAAAC-FM co-convened a Policy Dialogue in Addis Ababa, with 40 participants from 10 countries to advance FM within PHC transformation. Five priorities emerged: FM identity and recognition; training reform; sustainable career pathways; health system alignment; equity and community engagement. Three recommendations: establishing government policy defining FM's role; expanding training and career pathways; and coordinating advocacy. Ethiopia's experience offers potentially relevant regional lessons for advancing FM toward Universal Health Coverage.</p> 2026-09-28T04:30:11Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fmed.2026.1897582.s001 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Data_Sheet_1_Building_primary_health_care_from_the_ground_up_family_medicine_academic_partnership_and_health_system_reform_in_Ethiopia_pdf/34008390 CC BY 4.0
