Founded by 12 doctors five years ago, the project now has 260 members from Ethiopia, the Middle East, the United States and other countries.
The construction is expected to be finalised in the next three years.
Addis Abeba will have two international standard hospitals in the next five years, according to the latest master plan of the city.
