This set of five stamps was issued to promote public health and hygiene in Ethiopia. The designs depict various aspects of modern healthcare, including a nurse bandaging a child's arm, a child washing their hands, a microscope, a doctor examining a patient, and the Red Cross symbol over a map of Ethiopia.

Issued during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie I, this set reflects Ethiopia's efforts in the mid-20th century to modernize its public health infrastructure and educate its population on sanitation and disease prevention.
