World Health Organization (WHO) Somalia

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been actively involved in Somalia since the early 1990s, providing critical support in health emergencies and working towards strengthening the health system. With a mission to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve vulnerable populations, WHO plays a pivotal role in coordinating international health responses and providing technical guidance tailored to the unique challenges faced in Somalia. The organization collaborates with the Somali government, local partners, and international agencies to address public health issues and improve health outcomes across the country. WHO's core services in Somalia include disease prevention and control, health system strengthening, emergency response to health crises, and capacity building for healthcare professionals. The organization focuses on various health priorities such as maternal and child health, infectious diseases, nutrition, and mental health. Through its extensive regional presence, WHO aims to ensure that all individuals in Somalia have access to essential health services, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being and resilience of the Somali population.
