Health

Over two decades of conflict, disasters and under-development have decimated Somalia’s entire canvas. Health issues are rampant among the most vulnerable communities in Somalia. From cholera to maternal health, the need for adequate health care can only be tackled with focused and consistent efforts in improving access to quality health care.

SAF-UK International is commited to addressing this need by setting up health centres where they are needed most; internally displaced persons (IDPs)camps.
