World Bulletin
Thursday, February 23, 2012

The Somali delegation were greeted at the Adnan Menderes International Airport by the Secretary General of the Ege International Health Federation, Melih Guvendik.

Five Somali doctors and four nurses have arrived in the western province of Izmir on Wednesday where they will receive training for three months as part of the "Somalia-Turkey Medical Training Project" co-organized by the Aegean International Health Federation and the Turkish International Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TICCA).
The Somali delegation were greeted at the Adnan Menderes International Airport by the Secretary General of the Ege International Health Federation, Melih Guvendik.

Speaking to reporters while greeting the Somali delegation, Guvendik said that they were happy to implement a health project with the Somali health experts at a time when Izmir was a candidate for EXPO 2020 with the theme "New ways for a better world/Health for everyone".

The Somali doctors and nurses will get trained at the Ataturk Training and Research Hospital and Sifa University's Medical Faculty Hospital for three months.

Every 15 days, our doctors travel to Somalia and give short training there. We wanted to provide training in Turkey to Somali doctors and nurses and our request was approved by the Turkish Health Ministry. The Somali doctors and nurses who will go through the training in Izmir will be employed at the Turkish hospital in Somalia. The Somali doctors and nurses will have a chance to use state of the art medical technology. TICCA is a major sponsor of the project, Guvendik stressed.

As part of the project, a total of 16 Somali doctors and 20 nurses will get training in Izmir, Guvendik added.

Turkey to build East Africa’s largest children’s hospital in Mogadishu

Turkey plans to build the largest children’s hospital in East Africa in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, the Anatolia news agency reported on Tuesday.
The children’s hospital will be funded and constructed by Yardım Eli Aid Association and will contain 100 beds. The facility in which the hospital will be located will also include an education center, a mosque and a guest house.

Mehmet Çitil, the coordinator for the association’s activities in Somalia, told Anatolia that the infant mortality rate in the country has reached as high as 60 percent and that two-thirds of deaths are due to various infectious diseases and that one-third are due to starvation.

Stating that the country’s health system has been completely devastated, Çitil explained, “The children’s hospital that we are about to construct will be the biggest in East Africa, as Somali Health Ministry officials have also confirmed.”

Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ, who is scheduled to visit Mogadishu on Nov. 17, will attend a ground-breaking ceremony for the hospital, which we will be constructed as part of a campaign titled “Don’t Let Somali Children Die.”

Stating that an education center, a mosque and a guest house are also included in the plan for the facility, Çitil added that Turkish doctors and nurses associated with Yardım Eli will work in the hospital. Yardım Eli is also providing food aid in Somalia and operates an orphanage in the country.

Meet Dr. Hawa Abdi Dhiblawe, a 60-year-old family doctor who has treated, often for no charge, thousands of poor women and children in Somalia for over quarter of a century. She runs the Dr. Hawa Abdi clinic, located between Mogadishu and Afgoye.

Joining Dr. Dhiblawe’s family clinic are her two young daughters, Dr. Amina Mohamed Abdi, and most recently, Dr. Deqa Mohamed Abdi. All three now work in the clinic.

Hawa Abdi Foundation

The Hawa Abdi Foundation was one of the first NGOs to open in Somalia, and aims to provide quality health care, education that the local nurses and midwives need, and aid the empowerment of women in their communities.

The goal of Dr. Hawa Abdi, the driving force behind the Hawa Abdi Foundation and Hawa Abdi Village, was to help women in Somalia, and especially in the Lower Shabelle area to have better access to health care and education. When the war started, she started to try to provide safety to those seeking shelter on her land.

The Turks have a great heart, may God bless them but I honestly think biggest isn't the best in this case. Due to the level of need, the bad transportation infrastructure, etc I think rather than a gigantic hospital, a number of medium sized hospitals located near targeted population centers for better access and faster treatment would be a more cost-effective proposal
