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.

Since June 2007, the ICRC has stepped up its support for the Red Crescent health clinics which serve some 200,000 people. It also continues to support the two main hospitals in Mogadishu, Keysaney and Medina, which have admitted over 1,400 weapon-wounded people so far this year. A third of them were women and children. Over 4,200 wounded people were treated at the hospitals in 2007.
