In August, we opened a 20-bed obstetric fistula unit at the hospital, offering surgery and comprehensive support to women living with fistula, a serious childbirth-related injury leading to incontinence and often severe social stigma.
In Galkayo North, Puntland state, and Galkayo South, Galmudug state, Mudug region, our teams provided emergency, maternity, and pediatric services. We treated children with malnutrition, tuberculosis (TB), and drug-resistant TB; ran the hospital’s neonatal care unit; and sent mobile clinics to displacement sites and remote communities. In these areas, access to health care has become increasingly limited as funding cuts have reduced services and people have had to move in search of grazing land amid the ongoing drought and conflict.
As part of our green initiative at Mudug Regional Hospital in Galkayo North, we installed solar panels, reducing diesel use and emissions while ensuring reliable power for essential services and strengthening the hospital’s resilience to climate shocks.
