What are healthcare services like in Somalia?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Somalia. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Somalia are limited due to the ongoing conflict and lack of resources. Access to healthcare is often difficult for many people, especially those living in rural areas. The majority of healthcare services are provided by the government, but there are also some private clinics and hospitals. The quality of care varies greatly, and many facilities lack basic medical supplies and equipment. In addition, there is a shortage of qualified medical personnel, and many healthcare workers are not adequately trained. Despite these challenges, there are some efforts to improve healthcare services in Somalia, such as the establishment of mobile clinics and the training of healthcare workers," said another expat in Somalia.
