One register for every licensed food and health-related establishment.
The Facility Registration Information System is the Ministry of Health's register of Ethiopia's hotels, guest houses, restaurants and catering businesses. It carries an application from first submission through document verification, on-site inspection and the regulatory decision, to the certificate of competency itself — and keeps every step on one file that an officer, an inspector and the facility can all see.
