MOGADISHU — With the support of the Qatari people and in coordination with Somalia’s Ministry of Health and Human Services, Qatar Charity (QC) has inaugurated a new health centre in northern Somalia. The facility aims to deliver essential medical services to a region suffering from a severe shortage of healthcare infrastructure.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by officials from the Ministry of Health and Human Services, representatives of the local administration, and a delegation from QC.
Attendees expressed their appreciation for the initiative, highlighting its role in alleviating the hardship of patients who previously had to travel long distances in search of medical care.
The new centre houses several departments, including maternal and child health, emergency services, and internal medicine. It is equipped with modern medical devices and equipment that meet the standards set by the Somali Ministry of Health, ensuring the delivery of effective and high-quality healthcare services.
Constructed in response to the urgent healthcare needs of a population exceeding 50,000 people, the centre is designed to provide comprehensive medical care, especially for women and children—groups most affected by the lack of healthcare services in the region.
Engineer Ahmed Al Nama, director of QC’s Somalia office, stated that the new centre aligns with the organisation’s broader strategy to support the healthcare sector in Somalia and enhance the quality of life for its people.
He added that the centre is part of a wider portfolio of health projects implemented by QC, which includes building and equipping hospitals and clinics, as well as deploying medical convoys and providing vital supplies to underserved regions.
According to health statistics, over the past two decades, more than 16 million people in Somalia have benefited from QC’s healthcare initiatives. Among them are 58,000 orphans who continue to receive regular medical and social care through the charity’s programmes across the country.
