Therefore, it is necessary to identify these hurdles in achieving human aspirations. The government of Ethiopia has put health at its forefront goals and devised a four-tier health delivery system connecting the health extension and promotion services to highly specialized disease management. Researching on major health issues is also given due emphasis in the country’s programmes.</p>\r\nThis theme shall focus on priority areas of health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of diseases, and rehabilitative efforts to human health problems and major reproductive, maternal, and child health concerns.

Basic sciences research lays the foundation for advancement in knowledge that leads applications of sciences to problem-solving, occasionally as a result of unexpected discoveries.  Pure basic sciences may also focus on refuting or supporting theories that explain how this world operates, what makes things happen, etc. It is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Basic science research generates new ideas, principles and theories, which may not be immediately utilized but instead, form the basis to modern progress and development of different fields.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most scientific progress made so far are the results of findings obtained through basic or curiosity driven research. Today\'s computers for example, could not exist without the pure research in mathematics conducted over a century ago, for which there was no known practical application at that time. Pure research rarely helps practitioners directly with their everyday concerns. Nevertheless, it stimulates new ways of thinking about deviances that have the potential to revolutionize and dramatically improve how practitioners deal with a problem. A new idea or fundamental knowledge is not generated through pure basic sciences research alone but new knowledge could be built through it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-6-Description.pdf\"><u>For Details, Click Here</u></a></p>\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Theme-VI-2018-19-Research-Priority-Areas.pdf\">Research Priorities 2018</a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2017</u></a></p>\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2016</u></a>', 'Theme VI-BSR', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '521-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-04-09 08:38:05', '2018-04-09 08:38:05', '', 521, 'http://localhost/?p=4920', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Basic sciences research lays the foundation for advancement in knowledge that leads applications of sciences to problem-solving, occasionally as a result of unexpected discoveries.  Pure basic sciences may also focus on refuting or supporting theories that explain how this world operates, what makes things happen, etc. It is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Basic science research generates new ideas, principles and theories, which may not be immediately utilized but instead, form the basis to modern progress and development of different fields.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most scientific progress made so far are the results of findings obtained through basic or curiosity driven research. Today\'s computers for example, could not exist without the pure research in mathematics conducted over a century ago, for which there was no known practical application at that time. Pure research rarely helps practitioners directly with their everyday concerns. Nevertheless, it stimulates new ways of thinking about deviances that have the potential to revolutionize and dramatically improve how practitioners deal with a problem. A new idea or fundamental knowledge is not generated through pure basic sciences research alone but new knowledge could be built through it.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-6-Description.pdf\"><u>For Details, Click Here</u></a></p>\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Theme-VI-2018-19-Priority-Research-Areas.pdf\">Research Priorities 2018</a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2017</u></a></p>\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research Priorities 2016</u></a>', 'Theme VI-BSR', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '521-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-04-09 08:39:48', '2018-04-09 08:39:48', '', 521, 'http://localhost/?p=4921', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

To achieve this, several policies and strategies have been set though there are a lot of multidimensional complexities towards meeting high life standards. Therefore, it is necessary to identify these hurdles in achieving human aspirations. The government of Ethiopia has put health at its forefront goals and devised a four-tier health delivery system connecting the health extension and promotion services to highly specialized disease management. Researching on major health issues is also given due emphasis in the country’s programmes.</p><p>This theme shall focus on priority areas of health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of diseases, and rehabilitative efforts to human health problems and major reproductive, maternal, and child health concerns. Host, pathogen, environment interaction in relation of the occurrence health and wellness in one aspect and disease and disability in the other hand shall also be dealt with under this theme.</p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-2-Description-1.pdf\"><u>For details, click here</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-II-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-II-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016</u></a></p><p> </p>', 'Theme II-HNW', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '518-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-04-30 08:35:22', '2018-04-30 08:35:22', '', 518, 'http://localhost/?p=4951', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

To achieve this, several policies and strategies have been set though there are a lot of multidimensional complexities towards meeting high life standards. Therefore, it is necessary to identify these hurdles in achieving human aspirations. The government of Ethiopia has put health at its forefront goals and devised a four-tier health delivery system connecting the health extension and promotion services to highly specialized disease management. Researching on major health issues is also given due emphasis in the country’s programmes.</p><p>This theme shall focus on priority areas of health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of diseases, and rehabilitative efforts to human health problems and major reproductive, maternal, and child health concerns. Host, pathogen, environment interaction in relation of the occurrence health and wellness in one aspect and disease and disability in the other hand shall also be dealt with under this theme.</p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-2-Description-1.pdf\"><u>For details, click here</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-II-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-II-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016</u></a></p><p> </p>', 'Theme II-HNW', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '518-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-04-30 08:45:32', '2018-04-30 08:45:32', '', 518, 'http://localhost/?p=4961', 0, 'revision', '', 0);
