What are medical services in Somalia like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Somalia, they replied...
"Medical services in Somalia are limited due to the ongoing conflict and lack of resources. Access to healthcare is often difficult, especially in rural areas, and many medical facilities lack basic supplies and equipment. The majority of medical care is provided by private clinics and hospitals, which are often expensive and beyond the reach of many people. In addition, there is a shortage of qualified medical personnel, and many medical professionals have left the country due to the conflict. Despite these challenges, some organizations are working to improve access to healthcare in Somalia, such as the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross," said another expat in Somalia.
