by Dagnew, E. M., Sendekie, A. K., Tsega, W., Mekonnen, B. A., and Getachew, M. (2025). Front. Public Health 13:1486936. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2025.1486936

Author Ashenafi Kibret Sendekie was erroneously assigned to affiliation “Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Debre Tabor University, Debre Tabor, Ethiopia”. This affiliation has now been removed for author Ashenafi Kibret Sendekie.

There was a mistake in the caption of Figure 1 as published. This caption “Number of DRPS among patients diagnosed and treated with cancer in UoG and felegehiwot comprehensive and specialized hospitals Northwest, Ethiopia, April 1 to July 15, 2021.” was an error and did not relate to the current figure. The corrected caption of Figure 1 appears below.

“Excipients used for the compounding of dermatological preparations at selected hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia between January and April 2023 (N = 423).”

The original version of this article has been updated.
