Somalia: bringing health and hope to a beleaguered people
The ICRC has extended its support to 32 Somali Red Crescent clinics in central and southern Somalia, which have treated over 140,000 patients and provided more than 60,000 vaccinations since January 2008. The organization also continues to support the two surgical referral hospitals in Mogadishu, Medina and Keysaney.

Keysaney hospital in Mogadishu

A surgeon operates on the victim of an explosion, removing shrapnel from his body. Keysaney Hospital is run by the Somali Red Crescent and all staff and equipment are financed by the ICRC.

Mohammed, the patient, was injured by a shell explosion as he was crossing the road to escape fighting in Mogadishu. He went immediately into surgery upon his arrival at the hospital.
