ADMASSU TADESSE Group President and Managing Director, Trade and Development Bank (TDB)
“Having extended the first facility to the government of the Comoros in 2018 for the construction of the El-Maarouf Hospital and the acquisition of medical equipment, TDB Group is delighted to see such an august group of multilateral development finance institutions joining to co-finance this landmark medical facility in the country. The hospital will not only serve all Comorians, reducing the need for medical tourism abroad - and helping to retain foreign currency within the country - but also help to promote developments in the tourism sector and further economic diversifica- tion.”
