Message of condolences
It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Dr. Solomon Debabe. His sudden departure has left us heartbroken. We are profoundly saddened by this great loss.
Dr. Solomon Debabe was a man of exceptional humility, politeness, and generosity. For many years he quietly helped countless people with grace, optimism, and a caring heart.
His kindness extended far beyond his immediate family and touched many in his wider community.
Dr. Solomon was among the first three Ethiopian ENT surgeons, a true pioneer who dedicated his life to serving others. After completing his ENT specialization in Germany, he returned home and began practicing at Ras Desta Hospital in the early 1990s, where he served tirelessly until retiring a few years ago. Even after retirement, he remained active and continued helping patients until the very last days of his life.
He served his country in many capacities:
• As a General Practitioner and Medical Director in Asmara (Eritrea), Harar, and Debre Zeit (Bishoftu)
• As adjunct ENT teaching staff at Gondar Medical College and Jimma Health Science Institute (Jimma University)
• At Federal Police Hospital and ECA
He was a devoted family man and is survived by his three children.
May his noble soul rest in eternal peace.
My deepest condolences to all family members. May God give strength and comfort to everyone mourning this great loss.
