All Ethiopian 2015 DV Winners Meet Here!

For those who haven't done their medical yet, I recommend IOM. They are fast and friendly. They fix appointment for short period of time. The total cost including vaccination is 1,200 birr.
@God-Is-Love and @ZGREAT , really appreciated breaking this thread silence ,
btw @God-Is-Love how long did u take to get ur medical result from IOM, besides I have heard of their fair ticket arrangement for dv winners, is it true ?

The first day I appeared there was "Wednesday".
I went on "Friday"(after 2 days) for lab test and x-ray. Then, the next "Monday", I went again for physical examination and vaccination. The result was then sent directly to US embassy after three days. The next "Monday", i took confirmation paper.
I didn't check anything about air ticket. I'll do that after Jan 12

Hi GIL, may be the situation right now is a bit different. Because, I have been there yesterday(December 26) with my son and spouse. We have been given appointment for lab test on January 20 and January 22 for skin test. They told us that the final result will be delivered to the embassy on January 29, that means 5 days before our interview date. So I would suggest to check for others( Yared ...) if they could make it shorter than IOM.

oh. That is very different story. In my case, the whole process took less than a week. I also met other dv winners and immigrant to Australia and Canada. They told me the same story, around a week period.
If the case now is as you said (and if there is no misunderstanding), you should consider other options.

Hi Zgreat, regarding medical I did mine at AMC-American Medical Center. Which is good and short but the venue is a bit far. I went on last Monday morning with my passport, 2nd NL, and two or three photo with white back ground then paid around Br 1,200.00 and gave X-ray, blood and stool sample. The receptionist gave me appointment paper for Thursday morning @ 10:00 AM to come with Br 400.oo for vaccination and to finish other vaccinations at Black Line Hospital. Then I went to Black Line Hospital with my passport and Br 65.00 for vaccination (Polio, Menegitis and the other I forget) then I got a certified card . Then On Thursday I went to AMC met the Doctor and he asked me whether if I have other sickness, if any medication I took and the like and ordered me to take vaccination. I paid Br. 400.00 and got vaccinated and got a small paper telling me that I am in good condition tnx to God and I should take that paper to the Embassy on the interview date the report will be sent less than a week time.
