DECx Spotlight: Dr.Nafyad Getu
Since childhood, one dream lived deeply in the heart of a young boy from East Wollega. He wanted to become a medical doctor. That boy grew into Dr. Nafyad Getu, a man whose purpose never faded. After years of dedication, he fulfilled his dream by studying medicine at Haramaya University.
He started his career as a university lecturer, teaching with passion and inspiring future health professionals. But he always believed that important knowledge should reach everyone, not only students sitting inside a classroom. He knew there were people suffering silently simply because no one ever taught them the truth about their bodies and their health.
So he stepped out. With courage and purpose, he began sharing health education on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. He chose to speak openly about topics many avoided, including sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases, and reproductive health. These were conversations society often pushed into silence. His approach shocked some people and attracted criticism, but it also awakened millions. Dr. Nafyad always responded with calm determination saying that health without shame is a right and a necessity. Very quickly his content spread across the country. People listened, learned and shared. His bold voice earned him a name from the public “Abbaa Cabsaa”.
Today he has a strong and growing community including 576K followers on Facebook, 443K subscribers on YouTube and more than 539K on TikTok.
He did not only educate online. He wrote “Faaya Fayyaa”, a health book in Afaan Oromo, so communities can learn in their own language with dignity and clarity. He opened his own clinic in Addis Ababa to serve patients directly. Through his show on ETV Afaan Oromo, he brings accessible health knowledge to households across the country.
Dr. Nafyad Getu could have chosen comfort, silence and a conventional medical career. Instead, he chose courage, truth and service. From a boy with a dream in East Wollega to a doctor, writer, educator and public health leader, he continues to remind us that knowledge saves lives and silence can harm them.
From a childhood dream to a national voice, Dr. Nafyad has proven that purpose grows when shared with others. By breaking silence and spreading truth, he has opened doors to awareness and dignity in health. His work continues to inspire and transform lives every single day.
