Hospitals

At GWDA we are pleased to have completed the construction of two fully equipped and functioning hospitals in Somaliland - a hospital in the Salahlay district, which began as a maternity hospital but has now expanded into other areas of healthcare, and a mental health hospital in the capital city of Hargeisa.

Staff and Equipment

GWDA successfully secured full equipment for the hospital from the UAE Red Crescent, and the hospital is run under the Somaliland Ministry of Health and is fully staffed.  The hospital has saved many lives and improved health outcomes.

Ambulance

One of the most important tools of healthcare that the hospital possesses is a 4x4, fully equipped ambulance that visits hard to reach areas. Many people died unnecessarily in that region due to the nearest hospital being in Hargeisa several hours away. The ambulance has since been able to bring people to the hospital or take staff to remote areas to deliver healthcare assistance.
