Dire Dawa Administration Revises Health Sector Service Fees

The Dire Dawa Administration has officially revised the fee schedule for health-sector regulatory services. This decision comes after the existing tariffs remained unchanged for several years, failing to keep pace with the rising costs of service delivery. The Dire Dawa Food, Medicine and Health Care Control Authority has issued Service Fee Directive No. 20/2026 to formalize these changes. The administration states that the adjustment is necessary to align current service charges with actual operational expenses incurred in regulating the health sector.
