Re-starting medical activites in Somalia

International medical organisation Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has restarted treating patients in Somalia, nearly four years after withdrawing its teams from the country. MSF is once again providing support to Mudug Regional Hospital, Galkayo North, in Somalia’s Puntland region, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.

MSF started providing support to the hospital’s therapeutic feeding programme in May 2017 and paediatric ward in June 2017. With an average of ten new admissions per day, the intensive therapeutic feeding centre has treated 349 children under five for severe acute malnutrition, with patient numbers peaking at 111 at one time. A total of 201 children have also been admitted to isolation and treated for measles. In addition, MSF has admitted 100 children to the paediatric ward and provided 2,297 outpatient paediatric consultations since the beginning of June 2017.
